Between the waves : the hidden history of a very British revolution 1945-2016 / Tom McTague.

544 pages ; 24 cm

In a story of vaulting ambition and underhand politics, of nation, identity and belief, political writer Tom McTague chronicles the battle of ideas, events and personalities that first took the country into the Common Market in 1973, only to take it out of the European Union in an explosive referendum a little over forty years later. Drawing on unpublished sources and exclusive interviews, McTague unearths the roots of ideological conflict that raged between the great figures of history who shaped the nation as they fought for the future of Europe - Charles de Gaulle, Harold Macmillan, Jean Monnet, Enoch Powell and Margaret Thatcher. Alongside these political giants are the lesser-known actors in Britain's great post-war drama: a coterie of Eurosceptic student radicals, Cold Warriors, eccentric billionaires and political strategists who turned the tide of history.
