Great Deception: Can the European Union Survive?

"The literature on European integration is dominated by an uncritical historicism that implies that the superseding of the nation-state in Europe is both inevitable and culturally desirable. A skeptical narrative has long been overdue."- The Historian, Vol. 67, No. 4
Article by Richard North Euro defence market reform is integration by stealth, book mention. In The Businesss.
'This is the most important book ever to be written on the European Union... Europhiles as well as EU-critics will find the book illuminating. Its production by leading British political analyst Christopher Booker and economist Richard North is likely to be seen in time as itself a significant event in the history of the integration project, for no one who reads it will ever be able to look in the same way at the European Union again. The book is relevant to the people of every European country.' ~ Irish Democrat
Title mentioned in "My Six Best Books" by Christopher Foyle in Daily Express, August 2007.
Article by Christopher Booker plugging the book in Sunday Telegraph.
'I have been reading The Great Deception every night for the past week, and am so enthused and inspired by its detail and throughness...Not just a must read but a truly monumental achievement'. Bill Jamieson, executive editor The Scotsman
'a superb history of the EU and of Britain's relationship with it. Every MP, every senior civil servant, every journalist with any claim to understanding the current state of the country, should read it. Yet it has barely been reviewed. A tome about, say, homosexual monks in Croatia would have got more attention from the closed minds of the books editors of most of our major newspapers. I urge you to put this right. Besiege booksellers. Ask any politician who pronounces on this subject if they have read it. If they haven't, they don't know what they are talking about'. Peter Hitchens, The Mail on Sunday
'a wonderful book. It should be read by anyone of any influence in the country'. Sir John Keegan
'a splendid work which fills a notable gap in the literature of the sad tale of our relationship with our continental neighbours it is also beautifully written.'
'tour de force, a fascinating forensic history of the seen and unseen forces which have brought us to the present point.' Rodney Leach, The Spectator
'a mine of information and a reference work in itself'. Lord Rees-Mogg
'...a terrific read, and quite chilling.' Ruth Lea, Director of Centre for Policy Studies
'a remarkable piece of work, surely the best and most readable book on the EU so far written'. Dr.Richard Vaughan, formerly Professor of History at Leyden and author of Post-War Integration in Europe and Twentieth Century Europe: Paths To Unity
'...one of the most substantial critical works on the EU to be published in recent years...a valuable store of history and infomation'
'...an excellent account of the EU's development and its attempt to build a superstate from the 1930s up to June this year when the EU Constitution was rejected by France and Holland.'
