I don’t think I would commend the book for the solutions it offers, but more for its first-person perspective.What struck me is that it’s a very similar story—a slightly more analytical version— from the United States of Fiona Hill’s story. Brexit and Beyond] fulfills its goal of demonstrating that Brexit has been a critical juncture for scholars and policymakers to ‘rethink the futures of Europe’, while exploring different types of scenarios and options, some of which have not been discussed before. In all her intercourse with society, however, there was nothing that made her feel as if she belonged to it.

Tim Oliver is a Senior Lecturer at Loughborough University London, a Jean Monnet Fellow at the European University Institute in Florence and an Associate of LSE IDEAS, the foreign policy think tank of the London School of Economics and Political Science.It was very, very early in the game and many of the other books—Robert and Maria’s and a couple of the books that we’re going to come to—are far better at reflecting in a calm and cool way what was going on.

Written for both those familiar with the topic and those new to it, the book sets out in a clear and accessible way many of the fundamentals for understanding why Britain voted to leave the European Union and what happens next. Margaret Thatcher’s premiership then set the stage for an antagonistic relationship that culminated in the 2016 referendum. Boris Starling, author of The Bluffer's Guide to Brexit, talks us through some Brexit books that will leave you better read and even more mystified about what the future holds for Britain and Europe. Multiple Brexit secretaries and repeated coups, the ambition, gossip and heated exchanges between Brussels and the British Brexit team are all revealed in Shipman’s unflinching and unfiltered account.Voters who wouldn’t perhaps have been amenable to vote for a simple three-word slogan—’Take Back Control’—three years earlier, by 2019 would have done anything to put themselves out of the misery of Brexit. For more of a political/historical perspective, we turned to novelist Boris Starling, author of The Bluffer's Guide to Brexit.
