SCOTS ARMIES OF THE GREAT REBELLION 1638-1658

1-209280

In 1639 the Scottish Covenanters went to war with their King. Yet this was no mere rebellion, far less the Civil War which their defiance precipitated in England, for they had the government of the country and the forces they raised were no mere rabble of insurgents -- but the army of Scotland.

This new study of the various Scots forces provides a completely fresh and comprehensively detailed survey of both regulars and irregulars, including unprecedented detail on the arming of Highland soldiers and a specially commissioned series of color plates revealing the actual appearance of individual Scottish soldiers as never before. Includes eight full color plates by Bruno Mugnai.
