Reviews

"""This is a useful addition to the existing literature on Britain and Europe. Such is the richness of the material, and the thoroughness of Wall’s account, that this is a book that will prove essential reading for anyone working on the troubled history of Britain’s attitude towards Europe. There is also plenty here for those more interested in the present and the future, but still sensitive to the importance and relevance of contemporary history."" - N. Piers Ludlow, International Affairs, Vol. 88, 6, November 2012"
