The Pro-European Reader by Dick Leonard
This text is a guide to the case for Europe, marshalling the most persuasive arguments in favour of closer European integration, and a full and whole-hearted British participation in the European Union. It moves beyond politics with writers such as Milan Kundera and David Puttnam.
'..a most useful and easy to read anthology.' - John Palmer, The European Policy Centre
