Description

A colourful and stimulating history of modern Scotland This introductory history takes Scotland through two world wars and subsequent social exhaustion, through the re-energising adjustments loosely referred to as `the sixties’ to a final endgame of Union versus Independence.

The novel structure of Harvie’s history mirrors that of a grand engineering project, or a structure as complex as the Forth Railway Bridge: `three periods of change rendered as towers, and two great cantilevered arches of life-in-common, over which day-to-day life proceeds’.

Key Features:A final narrative of `Union versus Independence’Thematically rebuilt chapters: Economy/Society/Politics/CultureThe `60s’ reinterpreted
