Iain MacWhirter - Road To Referendum
Synopsis
A truly important book. It offers a huge sweep of history and deals with recent Scottish politics in formidable, but never tedious detail.
On the 18th September 2014, Scotland decided the future of the United Kingdom. This is the story of how we got here - and where we might go yet.
The referendum on Scottish independence was a landmark in the history of the United Kingdom, potentially ending the 300 year old union between the countries within Britain.
And it has raised so many questions ; Why have Scots seemingly fallen out of love with the union? Why have the SNP risen to unprecedented heights? And what does the future hold for both countries, north and south of the border?
Road to Referendum takes us on a journey through the history of the UK and shows us where the road may lead us with unparalleled insight.

External Reviews
"Ideal for anyone as a starting point for learning about Scottish history, politics and nationalism, presented in an objective, unbiased analytic way. How did Scotland go from being willing partners in a union to the brink of independence? The curious case of Scottish nationalism is analysed and explained in highly readable detail."
"Mr MacWhirter has done well to ensure he is balanced in his views of this most difficult and historic debate. It may not change the mindset of committed supporters but that is not it's job. It succeeds by producing the questions in the readers mind that requires the answers from both sides in order that the fence sitter can be more aware of the Pros & Cons of Independence." - Goodreads Reviews.
