Apologies if this has been asked before, but is there any significant difference between "The '45: Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Untold Story of the Jacobite Rising" and "Fight for a Throne: the Jacobite '45 Reconsidered"? I have the first – do I need the second? (That's "need" in the wargaming sense, obviously …) |

Like you I have the first. A skim through the second suggests that there is indeed a pretty wide overlap. I'd quite like the second, but can't justify the price. |

Hope your library gets the one you don't own! |

Stateside Amazon has new copies for under $40.00 USD. For a 680 page book, that is a pretty decent price. Tempting, very tempting indeed…. |

I have the 'Fight for a Throne' and enjoyed the book. Glad I have it. |

Fight for a Throne is an excellent book- totally re-written with much new material and analysis. Apparently Duffy had a lot of problems with the publishers and editors of the first Jacobite book- to the point that it's apparently the book that he's least happy with of all he's produced. Recommended. |

Oh dear. I mean, thanks all, but Mrs Colkitto isn't going to like this … |

Ah, I am currently reading the first book. Alas, I will continue and consider buying the second book someday. |
