A Subtle Sadness is an exploration of Scottish Identity and the impact on it of politics, football, religion, sex and alcohol. Itcovers a century of Scottish social, cultural and political highlights including:
• The Scottish Convention of 1948
• Four key Gorbals By-Elections
• The 1979 Devolution Referendum victory/defeat debacle
• The impact of Thatcherism on Scotland’s industrial base
• The desegregation of Glasgow University Union
• Service in the Tartan Army and the death of Jock Stein;
• The Ibrox Disaster of 1971
• The fiasco of Wembley 1961 and Argentina 1978
• The triumphs of Lisbon 1967, Wembley 1967, Barcelona 1972 and West Germany 1974.
A Subtle Sadness is a major contribution to the current Scottish discussions centred round the forthcoming Independence Referendum. It is not a political polemic designed to make readers vote one particular way but it puts the current social, cultural and political debates in a recent historical context.
