Opis

This broad-ranging and accessible volume tells the story of a relationship rooted in a thousand years of British history, and of our sense of national identity in conflict with our political and economic need for partnership with continental Europe.

Recenzje

As a senior advisor on European affairs to multiple prime ministers, retired diplomat Wall is particularly well qualified to chronicle Britain's tortured relationship with Europe ... readers familiar with British politics and recent history will fully appreciate his fascinating personal insights about prominent UK politicians or the behind-the-scenes glimpses of European diplomacy that he provides.
