Churchill: The Scottish Years tells the incredible story of how the god-fearing teetotaller Edwin Scrymgeour fought and won an election against Britain’s most famous politician. The story begins with their first electoral contest in 1908 and follows their political rivalry over the next five elections until Scrymgeour’s eventual victory in 1922.
This is the true story of Winston Churchill and Scotland.In the popular imagination, Winston Churchill is the bulldog of 1940 uncompromising and Conservative. But in 1922 he was the reforming, progressive Liberal MP for Dundee who, after five successive election wins and a majority of 15,000, could confidently claim to have a seat for life.But one man had other ideas. This is the story of how god-fearing teetotaller Edwin Scrymgeour fought and won an election against Britains most famous politician. Andrew Liddle vividly brings to life an extraordinary rivalry as it unfolded over fifteen years, and also explores for the first time Churchills controversial Scottish legacy, including his attitude to devolution.''Rich and well-written . . . a vital insight'' The Scotsman''A fascinating story'' Times Radio''A brilliant book'' Andrew Adonis
