Jim Sillars is one of most gifted men to have helped lead the SNP. This book is jam-packed with provocative and rigorous arguments about how Scottish independence may be advanced. Current and future leaders of those who seek to win the next Scottish independence referendum would do well to read and understand Sillars’ argument, their opponents should hope they do not do so. This book will repay being reread so Sillars’ laser precise diagnosis of the way ahead may be fully understood.

The arguments contained here warrant a 5-star review, but annoying typos, sloppy duplication of text, errors of fact and poor formatting demand the culling of a star.

This book for all of its faults demands the attention of those interested in Scottish independence.
