Editorial Review
There have been diaries and accounts of the referendum movement but none that give the depth of analysis that Michael Gardiner brings to the table. Britain as the Undead state, re-telling the movement as part of a narrative of British reform - and trying to capture the idea of self-determination, thereby cancelling both past and future for Scotland. It's a captivating insightful analysis of what we've just lived through. Essential reading. Mike Small, editor of Bella Caledonia
