3.0

Though explicitly written for the Independence Referendum of last September, this is also an interesting look through Scotland's - and indeed the British Isles' - history. Biased of course like all such works are one way or another, but at the same time alternative in presenting the stories behind the broad brush strokes that are generally accepted as History. The author is not someone who heralds the SNP as the saviour of the Scots people - who does? - but looks critically at their and other parties' acts in office. Plus as with all of his books, this is a well-written enjoyable read.
