In this compelling history, Matthew P. Dziennik corrects the mythologized image of the Highland soldier as a noble savage, a primitive if courageous relic of clanship, revealing instead how the Gaels used their military service to further their own interests and, in doing so, transformed the most maligned region of the British Isles into an important center of the British Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOrders are despatched from our UK warehouse next working day.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735657513248,"sku":"NEW0300196725","price":82.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/611kkpKraXL_3a05d0ca-86fc-463e-abd8-8a53c2de9006.jpg?v=1779498072","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-fatal-land-war-empire-and-the-highland-soldier-in-british-america-the-lewis-walpole-series-in-eighteenth-century-culture-and-history-0300196725","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
