Break-Up: How Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon Went to War
Kieran Andrews and David Clegg
Following a major serialisation in The Times, Break-Up tells the inside story of how a political alliance that goes back thirty years and brought Scotland to within 200,000 votes of independence was ripped apart amid shocking claims of sexual assault.
It is a jaw-dropping tale of outlandish and inappropriate behaviour in the highest reaches of power, of lies, distrust and alleged conspiracy, with profound implications not only for Salmond and Sturgeon themselves but for Scotland’s governing party and the wider independence movement.
