Combining meticulous research with entertaining and stylish delivery, this intriguing examination captures the lives of the Scotsmen who revolted against the might of the British crown and government. Exploring their days before the rebellion, this historical study depicts these modern men within their humble professions--from doctors, lawyers, and students to shoemakers, shopkeepers, and farmers. Revealing them as sons of a restless nation that had unwillingly surrendered its independence a mere generation before, this overview also shows how some were bound by age-old ties of Highland kinship and loyalty while others voluntarily rallied to the cries of "Prosperity to Scotland" and "No Union!" The agonizing personal dilemmas endured by many are also illustrated, demonstrating their hesitancy before committing themselves to Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite Cause. Portraying those that met their destiny at the battle on Culloden Moor, this powerful evocation represents these men as players in a global conflict that helped shape the world of today. Dramatic and moving, this is an exceptional story of those who risked everything for a better future for themselves, their families, and Scotland.… (más)
