- Summary:
- This book is the first to concentrate on the British attempt to place the EEC within a larger Free Trade Area. It is also the first to use recently released records to examine the Foreign Office's Grand Design for political co-operation in Europe. Its main focus is Anglo-European diplomacy yet it deals with wider international relations and the Cold War. "Threatening Europe therefore extends the debate by presenting a full historical analysis of Britain's response to the creation of the European Community.
