 Romantic hand wringing June 7, 2000
My father was born in Sutherland, and I have been there several times, and still have relatives there. The book moved me emotionally,probably because of my direct connection to the area and the people.The author portrays those times very realistically,especially the betrayal by some of the clan chiefs.One might almost make an analogy between what happened in the highlands of Scotland to what occurred in North America with the Native Indians.The only differance is that it would appear the Native Indians are going to make someone pay.
 An essential parable for our times May 28, 1999
Anyone who believes that the "ethnic cleansing" we are witnessing today in Yugoslavia is something new, should read this gripping history.
A good read, but un-necessarily emotional at times. April 1, 1998
Well researched, lucid review of the highland clearances, with vivid descriptive examples of conflict and black-house burning.
