Jacobite Army In England 1745 The Final Campaign
Item Code: BK62
Cost: $39.95
Frank McLynn argues that the key moment of the '45 was not Culloden, but the invasion of England by the Jacobite army.
'At the Council at Derby on 5 December 1745, when Lord George Murray defeated the Prince in the debate on whether to advance, he used to teling effect the idea of a monolithic London. He argued that if the Jacobites raced the Duke of Cumberland to London, the duke would pick up numbers all the time while the prince's strength remained unchanged or diminished as a result of skirmished. the Whigs, on the other hand, knowing the uncertain temper of the London mob, were not at all certain that the increased numbers might not accrue to the Jacobite side instead.'
In response to widespread demand the publishers have decided to issue the first paperback edition of Frank McLynn's celebrated account of the invasion of England by Prince Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) in November-December 1745.
