About the Book

A 300-year-old union. A comprehensive debate. A historic decision. On 18 September 2014, Scots will decide their future: should the country quit the United Kingdom and take control of its own destiny, or should it remain part of what advocates call the most successful political and economic union of modern times? Everyone in the country has a stake in this decision. Now, in this fascinating and insightful new book, David Torrance charts the countdown to the big day, weaving his way through a minefield of claim and counterclaim, and knocking down fictions and fallacies from both Nationalists and Unionists. He plunges into the key questions that have shaped an often-fraught argument, from the future of the pound to the shape of an independent Scottish army. With access to the strategists and opinion-makers on both sides of the political divide, this book goes straight to the heart of the great debate, providing an incisive, authoritative, occasionally trenchant guide to the most dramatic constitutional question of our times - the battle for Britain.

About the Author :
David Torrance was born and brought up in Edinburgh and educated at Leith Academy, the University of Aberdeen and Cardiff University's School of Journalism. He began his journalistic career on the Edinburgh Evening News as a reporter from 2000-01, covering general news, the local arts scene and Scottish politics. David then moved into television to present and produce The Week In Politics for Grampian and Scottish TV from 2001-03. When STV replaced that show with Politics Now at the beginning of 2004 he continued in place as its Scottish Parliament reporter, returning to the same programme in the autumn of 2007 after a year and a half working as Parliamentary Aide to the Shadow Scottish Secretary David Mundell in the House of Commons. He currently works as a London-based writer, journalist and broadcaster, regularly appearing on the BBC, Sky and STV, as well as supplying obituaries to the Herald and commentary for the Scotsman, The Times and several websites. David's first book, The Scottish Secretaries, was published by Birlinn to critical acclaim in 2006; his second, George Younger: A Life Well Lived, followed in 2008, while his third, 'We in Scotland' - Thatcherism in a Cold Climate, was published in 2009. In 2010 David published an unauthorised biography of the Scottish First Minister, Salmond: Against the Odds (Birlinn, updated with a paperback edition in 2011), Noel Skelton and the Property-Owning Democracy (Biteback) and Inside Edinburgh: Discovering the Classic Interiors of Edinburgh (Birlinn). His latest books are Great Scottish Speeches (Luath), a semi-authorised biography of David Steel, Rising Hope to Elder Statesman, and an edited work on the Scottish Conservative Party - Whatever Happened to Tory Scotland? (Edinburgh University Press).
