Campbell Martin is the author of three books.
The first, 'Was It Something I Said?', is his autobiography and tells the story of what has been described as “an often troubled life”. Campbell was raised in a working-class family in the west of Scotland and went on to become a Member of the Scottish Parliament. His story recalls his time in the Whips Office of the Scottish National Party, his time as an MSP, and his expulsion from the SNP. Away from politics, Campbell describes issues that have impacted on his life from childhood to the present day.
Campbell's two other books – 'OUTSPOKEN – Part One' and 'OUTSPOKEN – Part Two' – are contemporary accounts of the eventful past ten-years (2013-2023) in Scottish and UK politics, issues affecting society and international affairs. Part One includes the build-up to Scotland's referendum on independence, the vote and the aftermath. Part Two takes us from the SNP's landslide victory at the 2015 UK Election, through subsequent headline-grabbing issues and concludes in July 2023.
The content of the OUTSPOKEN books has been described as “writing that never strays far from controversial”.
