Taken from original sources, Fighting for Liberty gives a gritty blow by blow account of the campaigns of 1685, that ends on the battlefield of Sedgemoor.
Fighting for Liberty 1685
The Monmouth Rebellion of 1685 was fought by Scottish and English Whigs looking to overthrow the bloody, arbitrary & tyrannical rule of James, Duke of York. This new book, based purely on eyewitness accounts, rewrites the story you thought your knew.
New Perspective on the Battle of Sedgemoor
The common misconception is the Battle of Sedgemoor was fought between a vast host of misguided peasant and a thin line of unnumbered Redcoats. That it was a forgone conclusion, but new research uncovered in my book Fighting for Liberty, has uncovered an engagement between two well matched Armies, in the early hours of July 6, 1685. It was in the balance for nearly two hours.
Forgotten Scottish Battles of 1685
In May 1685, the Earl of Argyll invaded Scotland as part of a co-ordinated invasion to restore the Liberty and Religion of the British Isles. The campaign was not bloodless with two now forgotten Battles taking place and many more skirmishes. The Battle of Ardkinglas was fought on June 12, and the Battle of Muirdyke on June 18. The results will make you rethink your view on this campaign.
