Bonnie Prince Charlie: Charles Edward Stuart

Frank McLynn

In this highly acclaimed study Frank McLynn brings vividly before us the man Charles Edward Stuart who became known to legend as Bonnie Prince Charlie and whose unsuccessful challenge to the Hanoverian throne was followed by the crushing defeat at Culloden in 1746. He argues powerfully that failure was far from inevitable and history in 1745 came close to taking quite a different turn.

Reviews of Bonnie Prince Charlie: Charles Edward Stuart

"Does much to explain that contradictory accounts left to us of the man" — Rosalind Mitchison London Review of Books "A great success, a work…of mature reflection, acute judgement and great humanity" — Jeremy Black History "McLynn's splendid and eminently readable biography gives us not Charles the myth but the man" — Kevin Sharpe The Spectator
