Jeremy Black's book provides a dispassionate account of how Britain's history fits into a European context, comparing it to other countries and examining Brits' feelings towards Europe. It also explores Britain's involvement in European affairs over the last several hundred years. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 256 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 07 February 2019\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: C Hurst \u0026amp; Co Publishers Ltd\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmid the ongoing Brexit crisis, both sides are appealing to Britain's past relationship with Europe to justify their positions. However, much specious history is presented to argue for either the closeness or distance of our political, cultural, and economic links with 'the Continent.' We urgently need a dispassionate account of how Britain's history truly fits into a European context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow similar has Britain been to other European countries, and in what respects? Do Brits feel European, and have they taken an interest in events on the Continent, or has their distance from Europe led to insularity and xenophobia?
