This is a book the like of which the Europhobes and skeptics can hardly have dreamed would ever get written by a Europhile insider like Young- but here it is, chapter and verse on how it was done and by whom. ...

... , is conventionally viewed as someone who began as 'Selsdon Man', a prototype of the later Thatcher Tory Party, then made his famous U-turn. This is half-true, at best. It is clear now that Heath had one overriding aim- British entry into the EEC- and everything else played second fiddle to that. In the first year and a half of his government he appeared to believe that the best way to prepare the British economy for entry into the EEC was a dose of competitition and freedom- the traditional Tory ...

... Newton A Franco-German Bomb? A study by the German historian Werner Abelhauser casts new light on Franco-German efforts to provide the youthful European Economic Community with military capability.( 1) The essay is notable because it adds another dimension to our grasp of how and why the EEC was formed. Most modern work follows from the thesis developed by Alan Milward and is starting to accept that the EEC developed out of the post-war reconstruction programmes of the six nations (France, Germany, Italy and Benelux) which founded it.( 2) ...

... old friend of his. He told me a little about Tory Action and gave me two files of documents to read. I was amazed at the content of these files which had little to do with subversion but showed an obsession with immigration and the EU (the EEC at that time). A few weeks later I was invited to have lunch with GKY and Eric Lancasterat the Caledonian Club in Halkin Street, SW1. Eric Lancaster was a Justice of the Peace and a Conservative trade unionist. Some time later I found that ...

... people have wondered why, having lost an election and 66 years of age, Callaghan stayed Leader of the Labour Party. But by 1979 Callaghan was triumphant. Brown was a comical, ridiculed drunk. Wilson was forgotten and discredited. Jenkins had left to become an EEC Commissioner. Barbara Castle, too, had gone to Europe, as Leader of the Labour Group of MEPs. The period 1979-1980 saw Callaghan basking in a kind of unchallenged Indian Summer. Had he gone quietly in May 1979 he would have been replaced by his ...
