Description
A balanced narrative of European integration since its inception to the present, this book remains the standard for concise histories of the EU. Set in the post-war period, Gilbert concludes by considering the EU’s future in light of the crisis that has taken hold in the aftermath of the global recession, the refugee crisis, and Brexit.
