This was a pivotal period in Scottish political history and a critical period in the evolution of the SNP
Putting Scotland First is an informative read which helps to develop understanding of a pivotal period in Scottish political history and a critical period in the evolution of the SNP without which the party would not have been placed to become the major political beneficiary of devolution so far.
Cameron’s volume is primarily based on detailed archival work accumulated through years of committed research. His account is the product of long hours spent pouring over the minutes of meetings, election leaflets and correspondence between key SNP apparatchiks and branch officers at the National Library of Scotland, the Michell Library and the Scottish Political Archive at the University of Stirling. Furthermore, the value of this book is significantly enhanced by the fact that Cameron was able to access several personal collections belonging to key SNP activists.
