In this companion to the BBC Scotland series of the same name, Harry Reid's personal account of the Scottish press reveals a fascinating world of larger-than-life characters, scoops and rivalries. Charlie Chaplin, Muhammed Ali and Margaret Thatcher are just a few of the names that feature in this account. The author's insights come from a lifetime steeped in Scottish newspaper journalism and a never-ending fascination with Scottish history.
The book exposes how the press has dealt with the great pillars of Scottish identity- religion, education and law - as well as politics. The author's infectious enthusiasm for an often-maligned industry surprises and entertains to the very last page.
