Brexit Unfolded by Christopher Grey

Brexit Unfolded by Christopher Grey

Britain's 2016 vote to leave the EU divided the nation, unleashing years of political turmoil. The result has been a sulphurous atmosphere in which many remain unreconciled to Brexit whilst, in a tragic irony, some of those most committed to it are angry and dissatisfied with what was delivered. In this clear-headed assessment, Chris Grey argues that this painful legacy was all but inevitable. Left undefined by the referendum, the actual meaning of Brexit emerged only gradually, through the confusing and often dramatic events that followed. This compelling book skilfully unpacks those events, explaining how and why the promise of Brexit dissolved, creating discontent on all sides.

"Brexit Unfolded is a must-read for anyone who cares about what happened following the momentous decision Britain took in the 2016 referendumGrey is not a neutral observer, but his analysis is scholarly and balanced. He writes with engaging clarity as he navigates through toxic headlines and political slogans. It will be a long time before this illuminating account is rivalled." - Jonathan Dimbleby, broadcaster and author "Chris Grey has blown away the fog and obfuscation surrounding Brexit and revealed it in all its stark wretchedness. His writing is thrilling; his conclusions, tragic." - Sarah Carey, columnist, Irish Independent "It is hard to imagine a clearer, more detailed, more dispassionate analysis of the journey and execution of the UK's departure from the European Union than this brilliant and readable book by Chris Grey. Everyone who cares about the issue, for and against, needs this level of expertise and knowledge at their fingertips. Masterly." - Howard Goodall CBE, composer and broadcaster "An absolutely compelling account of how Brexit first muddied and then poisoned the well of political debate in Britain and left us with a reputation for political untrustworthiness which still haunts our relations with the EU. Above all, it's a searing account of the deep failure of political leadership in our country at a moment when it was so desperately needed." - Caroline Lucas MP, former leader of the Green Party and former MEP "A fascinating, thoughtful, clear and authoritative analysis of Brexit and its ongoing aftermath." - Professor Brian Cox, physicist and broadcaster
