A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The long-awaited sequel to A TOUCH OF TREASON which was top of the Scottish bestseller's list prior to Xmas 1990. This book is part polemic, part-autobiography and part-pamphlet in which Ian Hamilton, QC reveals aspects of his life which have hitherto remained private. This surprising book begins with an evocative essay on the landscape of his native Argyll and the impact of man upon it. Every chapter is self-contained and ranges from the state of the justiciary and the Scottish criminal courts, racialism and so-called 'white settlers', heresy and the need for it, the Royal family, Europe, tourism, the police, the correct end of a boiled egg to open, the Scottish Office, quangos, golf, Cecil Parkinson MP and a Scottish Parliament to name a few. It is written in Hamilton's usual rumbustuous, witty and entertaining style and it is a thought-provoking read on the vagaries of living in Scotland today. The late Sir Nicholas Fairbairn contributed an irreverent and highly critical afterword.
