This venerable Osprey title is an introduction to the Jacobite Rebellions. It gives a quick snapshot of each campaign, and provides the high points of the major battles. There are some good black and white pictures, as well as information regarding those units engaged in putting down the rebellions.

The Gerry Embleton plates, which quite good, it seems to me stray a bit from the mark. There a few plates of clansmen in highland dress, but the majority are of those regiments that fought against them. Maybe that's appropriate given that highland dress didn't change a great deal, but more examples would be helpful to me as a miniature wargamer who has to paint examples of the little beggars. ( )
