Penguin have bought world rights in Professor Tom Devine’s Independence or Union: The Scottish Question 1950-2015 which attempts to provide an answer to a fascinating historical puzzle. In the 1950s unionism in Scotland had reached an electoral peak and the SNP was an irrelevant political sect rather than an effective party.Yet, within a generation or so,in the Referendum of 2014, 45 per cent of Scots voted for independence and despite the clear victory for Unionists the debate rages on.What happened in 2014 will mean a radical revision of the Union with consequences for the governance of the entire UK.
