4.9/5 (31131 ratings)

Description:John Graham is one of the great figures of Scottish history. To his supporters he will always be "Bonnie Dundee", first and most romantic of the Jacobite rebels, leading his Highlanders at the battle of Killicrankie in 1689 and dying, tragically, at the moment of triumphant victory.To his enemies, the Presbyterian Covenantors, he is 'Graham of Claverhouse' or 'Bluidy Clavers' whose memory is maligned especially in the west of Scotland.As with many heroic figures, the truth is more complex and interesting than the legend. Going back to original sources, and with access to famly papers and private archives, Magnus Linklater and Christian Hesketh penetrate the myth-- romanticized by Walter Scott and vilified by Macaulay -- to reveal the life and career of a supremely efficient and disciplined soldier, faithful to the service of his government yet who ended his days as a rebel commander at the heart of a ragged clan army in the hills of northern Scotland.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
