Andrew Fletcher has been known since his own life time as 'The Patriot' because of
his determined resistance to the parliamentary Union of Scotland and England in 1707.
This book, the first on Fletcher since 1953, combines a biography with a full account
of the events leading to the Union and an up-to-date analysis of Fletcher's essays and speeches."impeccably researched and convincing ... will remain the definitive study for many years."
