Geography comes before history. Islands cannot have the same history as continental plains. The United Kingdom is a European country, but not the same kind of European country as Germany, Poland or Hungary. For most of the 150 centuries during which Britain has been inhabited it has been on the edge, culturally and literally, of mainland Europe.

In this succinct book, Tombs shows that the decision to leave the EU is historically explicable - though not made historically inevitable - by Britain's very different historical experience, especially in the 20th century and because of our more extensive and deeper ties outside Europe. He challenges the orthodox view that Brexit was due solely to British or English exceptionalism: in choosing to leave the EU, the British, he argues, were in many ways voting as typical Europeans.

Refreshing arguments no scaremongering a new chapter without fear for the UK ups and downs I'm sure but the people's choice must be respected .

facts not biased dogma

This is a fascinating listen for all us who lived through Brexit. It shows how the establishment has done its very best to undermine the referendum. I learnt a lot. Easy to listen to and almost a page turner. Excellent listen

A must read

I enjoyed this book. The history was clearly explained and changed my view of Brexit. I was a remainer, and like many others felt like it was the end of the world when we left. This book makes a strong argument for why this isn't necessarily the
case. As well as being well written, it was well read. I'm now considering buying a paper copy.

Enlightening

This book has a long term perspective that challenges the assumptions about UKs relationship with the EU

excellent book well narrated by an actor who doesn't ham it up too much as they tend to do. the narrator descends into sneering occasionally but on the whole did a good job.
