This review is from: On the Trail of Bonnie Prince Charlie (Paperback)

As an avid fan of Scottish history, this book really transformed the way I viewed Bonnie Prince Charlie. David Ross is accurate when he states that this historical figure has been "Frenchified", which the English have tried to paint him to be a prissy,selfish leader for centuries. He was no "Pretender" as authors often label him, as Charles had a legitimate right to declare himself to be the true heir to the Scottish throne (not to mention England). Ross gives you a different perspective on this man, which people don't realize how close Charles came to reaching his goal. He certainly had his flaws, but I never knew that he was a decent military commander and an inspiration to his troops. Ross does the man justice in his book, which I highly recommend to anyone interested in learning the truth about the 1745 Rebellion. Nice work and one that should be treasured...
