Summary
This title presents a comprehensive account of Britain's uneasy relationship with continental Europe from the end of the First World War to the twenty-first century. Crowson considers 'Europe' in its broadest sense and examines prewar history and the role of key political institutions such as the Council of Europe and the Western European Union as well as Britain's relations with the European Union (EU).
