Ian McCulloch

Highlander in the French-Indian War
Colonial American historian Ian Macpherson McCulloch uses rare sources to bring to life the stirring story of the three Scottish Highland regiments that operated in North America during the French-Indian War (1754-1763). Forbidden to carry arms or wear the kilt unless they served the British King, many former Jacobite rebels joined the new Highland regiments raised in North America. Involved in some of the most bloody and desperate battles fought on the North American continent, Highlanders successfully transformed their image from enemies of the crown to Imperial heroes. The author pays particular attention to the part they played at Ticonderoga, Sillery, Bushy Run and on the Plains of Abraham, Quebec.

The Epic Battles for Ticonderoga, 1758
A history of the military campaigns near Fort Ticonderoga, New York, in 1758.
John Bradstreet's Raid, 1758
A year after John Bradstreet’s raid of 1758—the first and largest British-American riverine raid mounted during the Seven Years’ War (known in North America as the French and Indian War)—Benjamin Franklin hailed it as one of the great “American” victories of the war. Bradstreet heartily agreed, and soon enough, his own official account was adopted by Francis Parkman and other early historians. In this first comprehensive analysis of Bradstreet’s raid, Ian Macpherson McCulloch uses never-before-seen materials and a new interpretive approach to dispel many of the myths that have grown up around the operation. The result is a closely observed, deeply researched revisionist microhi...
British Light Infantryman of the Seven Years' War
The British Light Infantryman of the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) was proficient at scouting and skirmishing, and more than a match for the French and their Indian allies. Shooting rapids in canoes, traversing swamps and snowshoeing through endless tracts of forest, British redcoats earned a reputation for resilience and resourcefulness as they adapted to the wilderness conditions of North America. Their development was a watershed in the history of irregular warfare, and this book provides a full examination of their fighting methods, covering training, tactics and campaigning from Canada to the Caribbean.
Silverfish
In the 1980s Echo and the Bunnymen could be heard in student digs and bedsits nationwide. This hugely influential indie band have survived death, drugs and violent musical differences, splits and make ups and are still going strong, recording and, significantly, playing to devoted audiences worldwide. And they are still fronted by the tousle-headed, shades-sporting, greatcoat wearing, chain-smoking Ian McCulloch, one of the great - and certainly outspoken - personalities in the business. Now Mac's decided the time is right to write a memoir of growing up in Liverpool in the '60s and '70s, of his twin passions of music and football (Liverpool, naturally) and his experiences as lead Bunnyman over 25 years of making music. Outspoken, clever and entertaining, Silverfish promises to be the engaging and unorthodox autobiography by one of British music's most iconic individuals...

Bunnyman
The Sunday Times bestseller A Daily Telegraph Music Memoir of the Year Growing up in Liverpool in the 1960s and '70s, when skinheads, football violence and fear of just about everything was the natural order of things, a young Will Sergeant found the emerging punk scene provided a shimmer of hope amongst a crumbling city still reeling from the destruction of the Second World War. From school-day horrors and mud flinging fun to nights at Liverpool's punk club, Eric's, Sergeant was fuelled by and thrived on music. It was this devotion that led to the birth of the Bunnymen, to the days when he and Ian McCulloch would muck around with reel-to-reel recordings of song ideas in the back parlour of ...
