Reviews

""A magnificent book ... truly innovative ... breaking new ground in Welsh historiography.""-- ""J. Graham Jones, Y Cymro"" ""An original and insightful study, sensitive to the role of individuals in the shaping of Plaid Cymru while fully cognisant of the wider historical and cultural contexts. This book, by Wales's leading political commentator and theorist, deepens our understanding of the motivations informing Plaid Cymru's leadership and the political thought of the party more generally.""-- ""Daniel G. Williams"" ""Authoritative, rigorous, forthright, passionate - and completely gripping.""-- ""Cynog Dafis"" ""Richard Wyn Jones' masterpiece will be a necessary handbook for everyone involved in planning the future of Plaid Cymru and plotting the future of Wales.""-- ""Cynog Dafis, Barn"" ""The first volume of his magisterial study of the ideology of Plaid Cymru.""-- ""Meic Stephens, Cambria"" ""This book combines a clear analysis of nationalist ideas in general with a masterful interpretation of the political thought of the main leaders of Plaid Cymru during the twentieth century. It is comprehensive, authoritative, and excitingly provocative in places.""-- ""Meredydd Evans"" ""This book is a masterly analysis of a party's ideology""-- ""\Tom Ellis, Planet: The Welsh Internationalist"" ""This excellent book is brim-full of innovative ideas and incisive observations ... fresh, balanced, gripping.""-- ""Robin Okey, Gwales""
