An accurate and true insight into the machinations of Brexit, our role as negotiators and our efforts to bring the deal over the line. -- Michel Barnier, former chief EU Brexit negotiator Stefaan De Rynck had a ringside seat for all the twists and turns of Britain's departure from the European Union. This insightful book provides important insights into Brexit from a European perspective - and explains how and why we got to where we are today. -- Oliver Wright, Policy Editor, The Times The Brexit you'll never hear about from a British negotiator. An important book. -- Robert Peston, ITV Political Editor A book as good as this could only have been written by someone on the inside - and with the impressive breadth and depth of knowledge as Stefaan De Rynck.

This EU insider's account reveals how British politicians were outclassed... many reporters came to know De Rynck as a straight-talking, trusted source who could explain the technical issues at the heart of the negotiations.
