"An important and timely contribution to the ongoing debate on Scotland's constitutional status. There is much in this book that will please but also irritate people holding different political views. Its greatest value is in its contribution to serious debate. Politicians will gut it for evidence and quotes to sustain these differing views --testimony to its importance. Anyone interested in Scotland's future should read it first hand." -- James Mitchell, University of Strathclyde
