Every home should have a copy of Tom Nairn's The Break-Up of Britain. I have every edition from 1977 to 2021. It is not just abt Scotland. It is abt the fracturing of the UK, the rise of English nationalism, challenge of Europe pre-Brexit & emergence of 4 nation politics. Still as relevant as ever.
