[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars I have read a book on a similar topic before, which was published in 1994. As the author reminds us of the last attempt at a monarchist coup in Germany, it proves one thing – the topic is still relevant and worth exploring. I was very impressed by the structure of the book. I learned a lot of new things, for example, about Portuguese history, which I believe is not as well-known. Each chapter was very well organized, and the events were clearly described. The text is engaging and informative, which allowed me to learn a lot. This book is a great contribution to the literature on monarchies and their falls.

Review highlight: 'A commendable interpretation of the events leading up to the invasion, the battle, and the post-battle political advantages for the Bruce.'

“Phil Carradice's well-researched and easy, elegant style of writing laid out in the pages of "Women of the Jacobite Rebellions" brings these forgotten women and their times vividly back to life with a particular elegance that lifts this work of British history to an impressive level of literary elegance.” Read the full review [link=https://www.midwestbookreview.com/lbw/sep_24.htm#WorldHistory]here.[/link]

"Churchill's morphing character is juxtaposed against the changing world in the post-World War One era, with key events such as the Bolshevik Revolution and subsequent civil war in Russia, upheaval in the Middle East, and rise of Fascism all covered in detail... Harte was born in 1925, he has lived through the many changes brought by the 20th century and there are few as well placed as him to profile Churchill in context. This book is a neat blend of social commentary with the story of a powerful character in his rise to ascendency. A considered study and recommended."
Tom Baker, Key Military

Well-written and highly readable, this is not simply a sad story about the past and children’s place in it, important as that is. It’s also a reminder that we shouldn’t be too smug. Maybe our children can go to school and play instead of working for wages. But for many children, the whole idea of such a childhood is still out of reach, even in the 21st century.
