The history of Britain's complex relationship with Europe,
untangled "The best short introduction to both the political
realignment that produced the 2016 Referendum result and the
immense fallout since."-CapX, "Books of the Year" (2020) "[A]
cool-headed, fair, and judicious analysis of Britain and the EU at
a decisive period in history"- Thomas Gallagher, Brexit-Watch.org
Is Britain a part of Europe? The British have been ambivalent on
this question since the Second World War, when the Western European
nations sought to prevent the return of fascism by creating strong
international ties throughout the Continent. Britain reluctantly
joined the Common Market, the European Community, and ultimately
the European Union, but its decades of membership never quite led
it to accept a European orientation. In the view of the
distinguished political scientist Vernon Bogdanor, the question of
Britain's relationship to Europe is rooted in "the prime conflict
of our time," the dispute between the competing faiths of
liberalism and nationalism. This concise, expertly guided tour
provides the essential background to the struggle over Brexit.
