No Gods and Precious Few Heroes by Christopher Harvie

No Gods and Precious Few Heroes by Christopher Harvie

This book tells the sombre tale of Scotland's industrial decline in the 20th century. He records the pressures and the events which have shaped Scotland's history since 1911, and gives insights into the resulting effect upon Scottish culture and society. Nationalism, external political interference (or lack of it), industrial and agricultural decline, and the two wars are discussed. This account should be of interest to general readers interested in Scotland's recent history, to school pupils and undergraduate students of history.

Christopher Harvie was born in Motherwell, Scotland. He was Senior Lecturer in History at the Open University and is currently Professor of British Studies in the English Seminar of Tubingen University, Germany. He has been several times Director of Seminar and visiting fellow or guest professor at
Merton and Nuffield Colleges, Oxford, Edinburgh and Strathclyde Universities, and St David's University College, Lampeter. He is Honorary Professor of Politics at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and also at Strathclyde University, Glasgow. Harvie has also lectured for the British Council in
