Synopsis
This history of modern Scotland considers all the major themes of the century—whether working-class militancy or the rise of Scottish nationalism, poverty or social reconstruction, the Scottish cultural renaissance or popular culture. Moreover, it shows how these themes were played out in individual communities and affected the lives of Scotland’s people. From the women who worked in munitions factories to the children in the school playgrounds, the cinema-goers of 1930s Aberdeen to the crofters of Knoydart who recently succeeded in buying their land, Richard Finlay offers a vivid picture of contemporary Scotland and the people who have shaped it.

Review
The best single-volume history of twentieth-century Scotland I know. It provides fresh perspectives on old issues while engaging with such new topics as gender, the drugs culture and popular music. -- T. M. Devine, author of The Scottish Nation Compelling ... Finlay's thesis is difficult to fault. * Sunday Herald * Hurrah for Richard Finlay ... a serious intellectual historian who has so far escaped the desire to become a media harlot like some of his contemporaries. His ideas are concise and his prose is sharp ... like all the best historians, Finlay's book is a narrative with a plot, rather than a jumble of opinionated facts ... This is a highly readable and thought-provoking work. * Scotsman * A well rounded history of twentieth century Scottish life. * Contemporary Review *
