Review "gripping ... a jaw-dislocating page-turner. If you care about contemporary politics, you really need to read it." - Andrew Marr, New Statesman."Saunders makes you feel you were in the room ... And when you read how that first battle over whether we should stay in Europe was fought, it becomes a little easier to fathom what went wrong or right in 2016, and why." 5* - Nick Comfort, Daily Telegraph"Saunders writes with swagger ... he demolishes many of the myths about Britain's relationship with the rest of Europe on which Brexiters and Remainers have long depended." - Andy Beckett, The Guardian"beautifully written ... a thoroughly reliable and stimulating account of one of the most important events in Britain's post-war history." - Vernon Bogdanor, Times Literary Supplement Book Description Ranging widely across 1970s British society, from churches to terrorist organisations, this examination of the 1975 European referendum puts the 2016 vote in historical perspective. It is ideal for students of history and politics and for anyone interested in modern British history, the 1970s or the relationship between Britain and Europe. See all Product description
