What to expect
POST-REFERENDUM EDITION OF THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, WITH A NEW PREFACE.
MEP and award-winning political writer Daniel Hannan’s argument for a British exit during the lead up to the Brexit referendum in 2016.
Hannan demonstrates that the EU, past its sell-by date, was rendered obsolete by technological advances, shrank economically and became less relevant to British economic needs. Worse than that, he shows that the EU could not reform, could not be democratic or be divorced from its goal of political union. To stay would not mean staying the same and voting to leave – far from being the risky choice – was actually the safe one.
Finally, Hannan argues that Britain would not have to stay in the EU to remain at the heart of Europe and considers the global role a confident nation freed from EU strictures could play.
'The case against the EU should be made in positive, optimistic and internationalist terms. Daniel Hannan has done us a favour by making the democratic and economic case for independence. If you're undecided, this book might surprise you' Helena Morrissey.
Critics Review
-
Confused about the EU referendum? In the dark about which way to vote? Daniel Hannan's invaluable vade mecum will illuminate the whole question, showing why voting to leave is a leap back into the light
Boris Johnson
-
This powerful, intelligent, hard-hitting, well-written and – considering the subject matter – mercifully short book is absolutely required reading for every Briton who is considering voting on 23 June, whichever side they presently think they support
Professor Andrew Roberts
-
Before voting in this historic referendum you should read this brilliant book. If you've decided to vote Leave this will enthuse you, if you're not yet sure, it will convince you
Michael Gove
-
A "must read" for anyone who is surprised that so many of us now want to leave the EU
Lord Owen

I defy anyone who is undecided on the EU to read this book and not be a convinced Leaver. The case against EU membership is not Left-wing or Right-wing: it's democratic. Daniel Hannan shows how bright the UK's future will be once we leave behind the corporatist racket in Brussels
Kate Hoey
-
The perfect book for someone who wants to hear a calm, clear set of reasons for leaving the EU
Baroness Jones
-
When it comes to the EU Dan Hannan has forgotten more than most people ever knew. He knows it from the inside, deep inside. He knows the venality, the incompetence, the bloated budgets and salaries, the many failures cynically covered up. He knows the staggering sums dragged from the pockets of the British taxpayer and the miserable return we get from them. The Brussels-worshipping brigade would be very wise not even to try to contest the points he makes in this book. For the rest of us it's an eye-opener
Frederick Forsyth
-
The case against the EU should be made in positive, optimistic and internationalist terms. Daniel Hannan has done us a favour by making the democratic and economic case for independence. If you're undecided, this book might surprise you
Helena Morrissey
-
By far the best book setting out all European issues in topical form
Charles Moore, The Daily Telegraph
-
The best book on the subject of the big decision Britons have to face on June 23' (5 stars)
Weekend Sport
-
An easy read and well argued
The Sunday Times
-
Switherers should read Hannan's polemic to help them make up their minds. Determined Brexiters at risk of anyone thinking their opinion matters should read it to help them next time their dinner party turns into a debate. And those planning to vote Remain? They should have it so that, if they win, they can take it down from their shelves in about ten years' time to help them figure out just what went wrong
