Recenzii

Stephen Maxwell has a positive, left-wing case for independence. SCOTTISH LEFT REVIEW Maxwell was an intellectual, a thinker, a writer, a civic activist, and a dedicated servant of Scotland's voluntary sector. Joyce McMillan, THE SCOTSMAN Maxwell has done his homework assiduously. The key historical, social science and political sources on the subject have been marshalled with skill and to good effect...The author writes in coherent and lucid prose so even complex economic arguments can be reaily understood and absorbed. SUNDAY HERALD This is a book of profound thought, intelligence and wit. To my mind it is the best book on the need for Scottish Independence and it certainly should be read and cherished by all of us who hope to contribute to the campaign. Stephen stimulated many of us for years, but this is his final and most powerful work. As Owen Dudley Edwards says in his Preface: "This book lifts the entire debate on Scottish independence to a new intellectual level. PAUL HENDERSON SCOTT
