Since its 2003 publication, this work has become a cornerstone for Eurosceptics, with the latest edition intensifying discussions during the 2016 EU Referendum. The fourth edition marks the UK's departure from the European Union, featuring extensive revisions that incorporate newly available archival material and updates reflecting recent events. It reveals the inside story of a significant political endeavor, tracing its intellectual origins back to the 1920s when a British civil servant first envisioned the European Union, and follows the UK’s journey to reclaim its status as an independent nation after 47 years of involvement in the European project. Utilizing a wealth of new evidence alongside existing sources, the narrative sheds fresh light on critical moments, including de Gaulle's decision to exclude Britain in the 1960s, the fall of Margaret Thatcher, and the lead-up to the referendum, rooted in the Maastricht Treaty. The book starkly illustrates how British politicians were repeatedly outmaneuvered in a complex game they failed to comprehend. It concludes by assessing the post-referendum negotiations and poses the question of whether this marks the end of a chapter or the dawn of a new one.
