Jimmy Reid is a totemic figure of twentieth century labour history. His political life is of interest to scholars of Scottish labour history and beyond, perhaps most obviously through his leadership of the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders’ (UCS) successful 1971 work-in. Knox and McKinlay’s new biography provides a valuable resource for revisiting the life of a celebrated, charismatic and sometimes controversial Scottish political figure. Their account is empirically rigorous and provides a praiseworthy breadth in detailing an individual’s life.

WWJ诺克斯和麦金莱（A. McKinlay），吉米·里德（Jimmy Reid）：克莱德造的人，

吉米·里德（Jimmy Reid）是20世纪劳动史的象征人物。苏格兰劳工历史及以后的学者对他的政治生活很感兴趣，也许最明显的是他在上克莱德造船厂（UCS）于1971年成功工作的领导下。诺克斯和麦金莱的新传记为重访这位举世闻名，富有魅力和有时引起争议的苏格兰政治人物的生活提供了宝贵的资源。他们的经验是严格的，在详述个人生活方面提供了值得称赞的广度。
