This concise volume provides an introduction not only to the main episodes in British policy towards European Unity, but also to the debates on the subject between politicians, political scientists, and historians. It also seeks to provide a general explanation for British doubts about European integration, despite the country's membership in the European Community for over two decades. The author uses evidence from government archives, as well as the memoirs and diaries of those involved directly in these events.
