Book Description

Addresses a question that has remained unanswered since the end of World War II: is Britain a European country? Rewriting the inside history of Britain and the European Union, each phase of the history in this book is built around the role of a single character, starting with Churchill and concluding with Tony Blair. The narrative is also built around the careers of Ernest Bevin, Harold Macmillan, Edward Heath, Roy Jenkins and Margaret Thatcher.
