Scotland And The Cold War

This book offers an introduction to Scotland's Cold War experience and represents an interesting sample of the numerous issues faced by communities north of the Border from the close of the Second World War until the late 1990s. The Cold War was an event that touched every aspect of life in Scotland, and this collection does not claim to provide a definitive statement on such a vast subject area. However, with contributions based either on personal experience or scholarship, the intent is to bring segments of Scotland's Cold War experience to light and to inspire new lines of research.
