- Summary:
- European integration has long been a controversial issue in British politics. The issue of whether the UK should endorse the Euro and a European Constitution has caused even deeper divides to emerge. This timely and comprehensive book looks at the European policies of the British Left since the end of World War II and provides a clear illustration of the range of debates that have taken place. It also includes interviews with the key players, including Tony Benn and Neil Kinnock.
