Synopsis
Andrew Marr's first book tells the distinctive story of Scottish politics—now updated with a new introductory chapter. "We may be about to see a new country—indeed, two new countries,—emerging on these islands. Half a lifetime ago, I sat down to write this book as a work of history. As it's aged, it's become current affairs." Just 20 years ago it seemed impossible that Scotland would ever get home rule, let alone full independence. Yet very soon there will be a Scottish referendum which will not only decide on this matter but which will have profound consequences for the future of all people on these islands. In The Battle for Scotland, first published in 1992, Andrew Marr provides the historical backdrop to these extraordinary events. He attempts to explain the deep sources of Scottish national feeling and the political will which has brought us to this deeply uncertain time. And in a substantial new introduction, Marr considers how we got here so suddenly, what the stakes really are, and what the questions every voting Scot (and every non-voting UK citizen) will be asking themselves.
