THE TOP TEN SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Geography comes before history.
Islands cannot have the same history as continental plains. The
United Kingdom is a European country, but not the same kind of
European country as Germany, Poland or Hungary. For most of the 150
centuries during which Britain has been inhabited it has been on
the edge, culturally and literally, of mainland Europe. In this
succinct book, Tombs shows that the decision to leave the EU is
historically explicable - though not made historically inevitable -
by Britain's very different historical experience, especially in
the twentieth century, and because of our more extensive and deeper
ties outside Europe. He challenges the orthodox view that Brexit
was due solely to British or English exceptionalism: in choosing to
leave the EU, the British, he argues, were in many ways voting as
typical Europeans.
