In the aftermath of the Second World War, Churchill sought to lead
Europe into an integrated union, but just over seventy years later,
Britain is poised to vote on leaving the EU. Benjamin
Grob-Fitzgibbon here recounts the fascinating history of Britain's
uneasy relationship with the European continent since the end of
the war. He shows how British views of the United Kingdom's place
within Europe cannot be understood outside of the context of
decolonization, the Cold War, and the Anglo-American relationship.
At the end of the Second World War, Britons viewed themselves both
as the leaders of a great empire and as the natural centre of
Europe. With the decline of the British Empire and the formation of
the European Economic Community, however, Britons developed a
Euroscepticism that was inseparable from a post-imperial nostalgia.
Britain had evolved from an island of imperial Europeans to one of
post-imperial Eurosceptics.
