About this listen

Brexit Briefly offers you a concise summary of the history and formation of the European Union and the decision of the UK to leave.

Politics can be complicated and filled with language that needs you to use a dictionary to decipher. Not with Brexit Briefly! This book has details on all the following: Brexit, the European Union, and all the nitty-gritty details in between. The audiobook’s language and descriptions make it an easy listen. So get listening and impress everyone you know with your knowledge of all things European politics and economics.

We begin by defining the European Union, which was not only an economic decision but also a political one that came with responsibilities to be followed by the states within the Union. Additionally, this audiobook follows the path that facilitated trade between the European Union states and what made the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland choose to exit such a system. Then it moves on to the decision of Britain to exit from the European Union (dubbed “Brexit”) and the consequences that befell the other countries who may or may not have wanted to leave as well. Lastly, we discuss some potential ramifications of Britain’s exit from the European Union in detail.

If you love history and politics but don’t have time for heavy textbooks, this audiobook is perfect. It’s a compact yet detailed guide to how and why the UK made one of its most significant political decisions. I particularly liked how Heron addresses not just the facts, but the implications—economic, political, and social. Jack Jacobs delivers the material with the gravitas it deserves. I came away with a better grasp of European history and the long-term effects of Brexit.

Being too young to vote during the referendum, I feel I still had so much to learn about Brexit. Although it’s been non stop spoken about since it happened, I find the language used online difficult and confusing. I feel like this book answered my questions!
