The bestselling opening of T M Devine's Scotland Trilogy - a masterly history of modern Scotland

The Scottish Nation examines the social, political, religious and economic factors that have shaped modern Scotland. Drawing on extensive research and exploring everything from the high politics of the devolved parliament to the everyday effects of huge and growing levels of social inequality, Devine places Scotland firmly within an international context and provides a key focus for the ongoing debate regarding Scotland's future.

Reviews for The Scottish Nation: A Modern History

I think this book takes its place among the greatest accounts of Scotland's history available today -- Alex Salmond * New Statesman BOOKS OF THE YEAR * Devine's scholarship is state of the art ... if you are after answers to the big questions of Scottish history, Devine is your man -- Niall Ferguson Magnificent ... a high achievement, a history of modern Scotland which, rarely for the subject, endows with sweep and power the changes that have created the country we live in -- Michael Fry * Herald *
