Reviews''...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.'', 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., 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.

I am minded to rise looks at the variety of clothing and weapons used by the different Jacobite armies in this time period as well as their material culture used by them to show their allegiance to the Stuarts and the Jacobite cause.This book will appeal to those interested in the Jacobite Risings reenactors, wargamers, fans of Outlander, anyone with an interest in Scottish clothing from 17th and 18th centuries and the Scottish diaspora who, thanks to a growing interest in family history, are keen to know more about their Scottish heritage.
