Opis
One issue almost more than any other has dominated Britain's political and emotional landscape during the 21st century - our relationship with Europe and the European Union in particular.
However, for the Conservative party the roots of this issue go back much further. As Clive Watson so eloquently demonstrates in Full Circle the precedence of history can, in fact should, teach us many lessons.
Whilst, over eighty years apart, the political issues of appeasement to Hitler in the 1930s and those of Brexit may seem very different their DNA are in fact very similar.
Across the pages of Full Circle, from the 1930s onward, stride the giants of the Conservative party's conflicting European opinions - Chamberlain, Churchill, Macmillan, Heath, Thatcher, Cameron, May, Johnson and others... all trying to drive, charm or cajole their party to a destiny that wasn't necessarily to everyone's liking.
What this book seeks to do is to link the courageous stands of the anti-appeasement and anti-Brexit Conservative MPs. The links are strong, and they highlight the tragedy that has bedevilled the Conservative party
As Sir Anthony Seldon writes in his foreword "In the struggles to prevent the failings of both appeasement and Brexit a few Conservative MPs risked their careers and parliamentary seats to stand up and challenge the prevailing orthodoxy of the Conservative leadership."
Full Circle is the history of those principled MPs... or is even, perhaps, their epitaph.
