REVIEWS-
"This book has the ability to provide another layer of understanding to anyone with an interest in either or both dress and military history, while serving as a springboard for further investigation."
"This thorough examination of the well- and poorly-dressed Jacobite officer and soldier at the turn of the 17th-18th century describes all the details you would want to know about the period."
‘’...another book in Helion’s excellent Century of the Soldier series. Reenactors, wargamers, and historians of dress will welcome this book. Scott’s ambitions are limited as you might expect given the subject, but she achieves her goal of informing while entertaining, and I enjoyed reading this. 9/10.’’
