Britain's Europe
Title Britain's Europe : a thousand years of conflict and cooperation / Brendan Simms Author Simms, Brendan, 1967- (Author) Publication [London] : Allen Lane an imprint of Penguin Books, 2019 Scope xvi, 302 stran : mapy ; 20 cm Country United Kingdom Language English Edition Penguin history Note Obsahuje bibliografii Annotation "Britain has always had a tangled, complex, paradoxical role in Europe's history. It has invaded and been invaded, changed sides, stood aloof, acted with both brazen cynicism and the cloudiest idealism. Every century troops from the British isles have marched across the mainland in pursuit of a great complex of different goals, foremost among them the intertwined defence of parliamentary liberty in Britain and the 'Liberties of Europe'. Dynastically Britain has been closely linked to countries as varied as Spain, the Netherlands, Germany and France. In this bracing and highly enjoyable book, Brendan Simms describes the highlights and low-points in the Euro-British encounter, from the Dark Ages to the present. The critical importance of understanding this history is shown in the final chapter, which dramatizes the issues around British relations with the European Union. Britain's Europe is a vital intervention for our times."-- Publisher Výrazy tezauru Evropa * Spojené království * mezinárodní politika * dějiny Klasifikační znaky 0806 - Mezinárodní politika 0406 - Politický rámec ISBN 978-0-141-98390-5 Copy count 1, currently available 1 Document kind Monografie
