Contents include:

"Since 1968 there have been approximately 79 bombing incidents,
forty `political' bank raids and numerous hoaxes and bomb scares.
Letter bombs have exploded in the offices of senior Conservative
Ministers and one has claimed that Mrs Thatcher only narrowly
escaped assassination. Judges at 18 trials involving 1,095
witnesses have handed out sentences to 52 Scottish terrorists,
a total of 286 years in jail. The cost to the state in terms of
damage has been several million pounds. The cost of police and
Special Branch activities is incalculable. The terror trials have
created new records in Scottish legal history: the longest trial
(1976), the longest jail sentence for a non-capital offence
(1972) and the most intensive security operation ever seen at a
Scottish high court (1980)." [PUBLISHER'S TEXT]
