Publisher Synopsis
Britain has 'left' and re-joined Europe a dozen times over the past two thousand years. The latest swing has been among the bitterest. Tugendhat's survey is a masterful injection of sanity into this perennial argument. -Simon Jenkins; The switch of Conservative Party opinion on Europe was of profound and enduring significance to the UK and the EU. At the heart of this absorbing narrative of how and why it happened is a superb insider's account of a critical moment in the story and one of the great might-have-beens of British history if Margaret Thatcher had been treated differently by the big figures in Europe after 1979. - Peter Hennessy; `Europe has been a poisoned chalice for the Conservatives. Six of the last seven Conservative Prime Ministers have been ruined by it. Few could be better qualified to explain the reasons why than Christopher Tugendhat. The Worm in the Apple is a contribution to understanding of the first importance. It will fascinate everyone who enjoys the world of politics.' Vernon Bogdanor, Professor of Government, King's College, London and author of Britain and Europe in a Troubled World'. Read more...
