Paul O'Keeffe is a lecturer and writer based in Liverpool. His acclaimed books include Waterloo- The Aftermath and, Culloden- Battle & Aftermath, described by the Daily Mail as 'As vivid as the Ten O'Clock News... fascinating, detailed, meticulously researched... tremendous'.
A tremendous tale - one of the most dramatic in our island's
history - and O'Keeffe tells it beautifully,
*The Times*
Fascinating, meticulously researched, often brutally detailed ...
without being there, those times could not be more vividly brought
to life than in this tremendous book
*Daily Mail*
Brings the last battle on British soil to life with page-turning
vivacity
*Mail on Sunday*
A fascinating portrait of 18th-century Britain as an age of
elegance and brutality... I recommend this book strongly
*Scotsman*
A fascinating portrait of eighteenth-century Britain as an age of
elegance and brutality... I recommend this book strongly
*Scotsman, *Books of the Year**
Detailed, vivid - and not for the faint-hearted
*Financial Times*
Intensely readable... [and] vividly written
*London Review of Books*
A vibrant and vivid tale, of victory, defeat, savage retribution
and 'high' art... In our field one is often inclined to think or
say, 'Do we really we need yet another book on Culloden?' However,
if they are written as well and as excitingly as Paul
O'Keeffe's...then the answer is a resounding 'Yes!'

University of Leeds*
