The only book to trace Scotland’s contribution to the Second World War through unpublished photographs Traditionally Scotland has made a contribution to Britain’s wars well out of proportion to her population and her military achievements recognized throughout the world. 'Scotland at War' provides an outline of Scotland's war effort drawing on extensive photographic evidence from commercial, state and personal collections, looking beyond the experience of individual regiments to provide a wider picture of the experience of the Scottish soldier, sailor and airman in the struggles against Germany, Japan and Italy. This book will provide any teacher or student of military history an insight into what it was really like on the Front.
