A people's history of Scotland - Chris Bambery

A People's History of Scotland looks beyond the kings and
queens, the battles and bloody defeats of the past. It captures the
history that matters today, stories of freedom fighters, suffragettes,
the workers of Red Clydeside, and the hardship and protest of the
treacherous Thatcher era.

With riveting storytelling, Chris
Bambery recounts the struggles for nationhood. He charts the lives of
Scots who changed the world, as well as those who fought for the cause
of ordinary people at home, from the poets Robbie Burns and Hugh
MacDiarmid to campaigners such as John Maclean and Helen Crawfurd.

This is a passionate cry for more than just independence but also for a nation based on social justice.
