The catalog of ills seems endless: an economic crisis spread through most of Europe's Mediterranean tier that has crippled Greece and driven a wedge between northern and southern Europe; terrorist attacks in Paris, Cologne, Brussels, and Nice; growing aggression from Russia in Ukraine and the Baltic states; and refugees escaping war-torn neighbors. The European Union's inability to handle any of these disasters was a driving factor in Great Britain voting to leave, and others may soon follow. The result won't just be a continent in turmoil, but also a serious threat to American and British security-the Atlantic, let alone the Channel, simply isn't big enough to keep European troubles in Europe. For everyone's sake, Europe must survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe question is how. In \u003cem\u003eEurope's Last Chance\u003c\/em\u003e, Guy Verhofstadt-former prime minister of Belgium and current leader of the liberal faction in the European Parliament-provides the essential framework for understanding Europe today, laying bare the absurdity of a system in which each member state can veto legislation, opt in or out of the Euro, or close borders on a whim. But Verhofstadt does not just indict the European Union, he also offers a powerful vision for how the continent can change for the better. The key, argues Verhofstadt, is to reform the European Union along the lines of America's federal government: a United States of Europe strong enough to stand with the United States of America in making a better, safer world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA visionary book from one of today's luminaries of European leadership, \u003cem\u003eEurope's Last Chance\u003c\/em\u003e is a clarion call to save the European Union, one of the world's greatest chances for peace and prosperity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49697980285201,"sku":"DVDB000H5TVKSVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53423599517969,"sku":"CINB000H5TVKSG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B000H5TVKS.jpg?v=1751353823","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/saw-ii-dvd-0031398203452","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
