Book review - "Culloden: Scotland’s Last Battle and the Forging of the British Empire" by Trevor Royle

Not just a book about Culloden - it does over the 1745 campaign and battle but is actually more about the impact of that battle, how it shaped British military thinking and strategy, especially in the hugely important Seven Years War.  The book feels very fair and even handed - it does lack occasional dash which seems a pity when there were so many colourful characters, but it is worth a read if you're into this period.
