In Scotland's Empire, T.M Devine tells the compelling story of
Scotland's role in forging and expanding the British Empire, from
the Americas to Australia, India to the Caribbean. By 1820 Britain
controlled a fifth of the world's population, and no people had
made a more essential contribution than the Scots - working across
the globe as soldiers and merchants, administrators and clerics,
doctors and teachers. In this widely praised book, T. M. Devine -
acclaimed author of The Scottish Nation and To the Ends of the
Earth: Scotland's Global Diaspora - traces the vital part Scotland
played in creating an empire - and the fundamental effect this had
in moulding the modern Scottish nation. 'A tour de force ... Tom
Devine is the pre-eminent historian of modern Scotland' Niall
Ferguson, author of Empire 'Captivating ... tells the story of the
Scots who put their marching boots on, or were forced into them, to
start a new life abroad' Barclay McBain, Herald 'A fascinating
work, replete with telling detail' Allan Massie, Literary Review
'Nobody has done more over the past thirty years to bring Scottish
historiography into rigorous and unsentimental alignment with
developments elsewhere than Tom Devine' Colin Kidd, The Times
Literary Supplement 'Captivating ... tells the story of the Scots
who put their marching boots on, or were forced into them, to start
a new life abroad' Economist T.M. Devine, OBE is University
Research Professor and Director of the Research Institute of Irish
and Scottish Studies at the University of Aberdeen. His other books
include The Scottish Nation and To the Ends of the Earth.
