SNP by Peter Lynch

The first published history of the Scottish National Party, this highly acclaimed study reveals the inside story of the SNP's political, philosophical and electoral development from its foundation in 1934, to governing Scotland from 2007 and leading the country into the 2014 independence referendum. Comprehensively researched using internal party documents, newspaper archives, the private papers of key figures and extensive interviews with party insiders, SNP - The History of the Scottish National Party is essential reading for all with an interest in the political history of Scotland.

There is much to admire hereThere is scholarship on every page. It will become the definitive reference work on the nationalist strand of Scottish politics and Scottish history - the early days in particular are extremely well done, with close attention to original sources - impressive and has never been so well set out before.
