A Peoples History of Scotland looks beyond the kingsand queens, the battles and bloody defeats of thepast. It captures the history that matters today,stories of freedom fighters, suffragettes, the workersof Red Clydeside, and the hardship and protest ofthe treacherous Thatcher era.

With riveting storytelling, Chris Bambery recountsthe struggles for nationhood. He charts the lives of Scotswho changed the world, as well as those who fought for the cause of ordinarypeople at home, from the poets Robbie Burns and Hugh MacDiarmid tocampaigners 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.
