A landmark work of popular military history, Culloden chronicles the catastrophic 1746 Battle of Culloden — the last pitched battle fought on British soil — and the brutal suppression of the Scottish Jacobite uprising that followed. Drawing on eyewitness accounts, government records, and contemporary documents, John Prebble reconstructs the tragedy with vivid, unflinching detail, giving voice not only to commanders and kings but to the ordinary Highlanders who suffered most. The narrative indicts the callous incompetence of Jacobite leadership and the savage ferocity of the Hanoverian reprisals with passionate, unrelenting authority. A deeply humane account of a defining moment in Scottish history, the book stands as essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the destruction of the Highland clan system and the transformation of modern Scotland.
