Place reservation for The rivals : Montrose and Argyll and the struggle for ScotlandThe struggles of the Scottish Civil War of 1644-45 could easily be personified as a contest between James Graham, 1st Marquis of Montrose, and Archibald Campbell, 8th Earl of Argyll. This history examines their rivalry while underlining their different personalities: Montrose, the brilliant military tactician, bold and brave but rash, and Campbell, altogether a more opaque figure, cautious, considered and difficult to read. The result is a vivid insight into two remarkable men who played a huge part in writing Scotland's history, and a fascinating portrait of a time of intense political upheaval.
