The Sturgeon Years

Nicola Sturgeon's memoir Frankly is a less than frank account of her political career though combining it with research on the SNP dating back to her early days as an SNP activist provides insights into her style of leadership and the internal politics of the SNP. Understanding the former SNP leader's tendency to project her own weaknesses onto opponents is key to making sense of this extremely talented campaigner's career but also her failures as a First Minister.
