Reviews

Scotland's Empire is a fascinating work, replete with telling detail and continually throwing out observations which invite further speculation
*Literary Review*

A book that will be enjoyed by anyone interested in history, or who simply enjoys a good story, well told
*Herald*

The history of the British empire will never look the same after this book
*Professor Christopher Bayly*

Tom Devine, Scotland's foremost historian, follows up his majestic The Scottish Nation with a forensic analysis of Scotland's central role in the British Empire ... Devine creates a book that suits post-devolution Scotland - we only have ourselves to understand
*Sunday Herald (Books of the Year 2003)*

As a sophisticated and clearly argued statement of Scots and Empire this book could hardly be bettered
