The Broken Journey by Kenneth Roy

Volume 2 in Kenneth Roy's Life of Scotland trilogy

'a rich and fascinating survey of a country … Anyone who lived through these years will find much to relish, much to provoke surprising nostalgia…Those too young to remember the time will learn a lot about the country they have inheritedI guess many will think "whatever is wrong today, things are better now than then"'

-- Allan Massie * The Scotsman *

'We are guided through the social, political and cultural threads which laid down the roots of 21st century Scotland'

* Scottish Field *

Kenneth Roy was born and brought up in Falkirk, Scotland. After ten years working as an anchorman in BBC TV News and Current Affairs he became a critic and columnist in the print media, notably Scotland on Sunday and the Observer. He founded the Institute of Contemporary Scotland in 2000; was editor and now columnist of online campaigning journal the Scottish Review; and is chair of the Young Scotland programme, which encourages debate and exchange of ideas among young adults in Scotland. The first volume of his history of modern Scotland, The Invisible Spirit, came out in 2013
