Product Description
The "Scottish Nation" examines the social, political, religious and economic factors that have shaped modern Scotland. Drawing on the latest research, Devine places Scotland firmly within an international context and provides a key focus for the ongoing debate regarding Scotland's future. This new edition brings the reader up-to-date with Scotland's recent history, from the high politics of the devolved parliament to the everyday effects of huge and growing levels of social inequality.

I'm a student who is studying history at University. Since I have to read a lot of historical texts, I look for ease of read as well as historical accuracy. T.M. Devine's book meets both of these requirements easily. This is the sort of book that you can sit and read for enjoyment.

Devine's book is a really interesting social history of Scotland. For anyone like myself born post-1970, Devine's account of poverty and deprivation in overcrowded post-ww1 schemes makes you stop to think how far we've come and still need to go. The description of how Scotland came to be in the Union is fascinating and throughout, Devine is free of bias on either the Unionist or Nationalist side. Devine always shows a mastery of the evidence and delivers a flowing, readable prose. In conclusion, a thoroughly enjoyable introduction to modern Scottish history.
