BOOKS

A Democratic Europe: An Alternative to the European Union
by Sir Richard Body (2006)

This book by veteran anti-EU campaigner and former Conservative MP Sir Richard Body highlights the direction towards a European Superstate in which the EU is today heading, and argues that the EU's 'democratic deficit' cannot be cured - because the way it works makes people powerless.

Towards a solution the book sets out an alternative of a partnership of nation states working like the non-EU Council of Europe, with its forty-six countries co-operating together as and where they themselves feel is necessary.

The Great Deception: Can the EU Survive?
by Christopher Booker & Richard North (2005)

First published as The Great Deception: The Secret History of the European Union, this book by Sunday Telegraph columnist Christopher Booker and EU researcher Richard North was an instant huge bestseller.

Now newly updated and subtitled Can the EU survive?, in the aftermath of the 'no' votes in France and Holland, Booker and North examine the shift in focus away from the EU Constitution to the wider question of whether the European Union can survive in its current state.

Scarcely an episode of the story of the European Union does not emerge in a startling new light, from the real reasons why de Gaulle kept Britain out in the 1960s to the fall of Mrs Thatcher. The book chillingly shows how Britain's politicians, not least Tony Blair, have consistently been outplayed in a game, the rules of which they never understood.

It ends by asking whether, from the euro to enlargement, the constitution to the ‘no’ votes, the 'project' has now overreached itself, as a gamble doomed to fail.

Two brave and diligent men, Christopher Booker and Richard North, have written a superb history of the EU and of Britain’s relationship with it ... Every MP, every senior civil servant, every journalist with any claim to understanding the current state of the country, should read it ... Besiege booksellers. Ask any politician or commentator who pronounces on this subject if they have read it. If they haven’t, they don’t know what they’re talking about.’
- Peter Hitchens, The Mail on Sunday

Britain & the EU: Alternative FuturesBritain & the EU: Alternative Futures
by Mark Baimbridge, Brian Burkitt & Philip Whyman (2005)

This timely contribution to the growing debate in Britain and across Europe on the need for fundamental change in how European countries work together in the 21st century provides a groundbreaking analysis of the economic and democratic effect that EU membership has had on Britain.

Published by the CIB, this important new book offers not only a concise examination of the costs of EU membership but also a well reasoned study of alternative relationships Britain, perhaps together with other European countries, could more beneficially forge in the future. Options scrutinised include a defence of the status quo through to various renegotiations of membership and options for withdrawal.

This rhetoric-free study is essential reading for anyone interested in Britain's political and economic future.

Special offer! only £5.00 (RRP £7.50)

Alternative Futures - £5.00

 

Missing Heart of Europe coverThe Missing Heart of Europe
by Thomas Kremer (2004)

Thomas Kremer explores the diverse political cultures in Europe - which he contrasts as concentric and eccentric - and sets out his consequent apprehension about the latest grand vision of the continent's centrist political forces - the European Union.

As an ethnic Hungarian who survived deportation to the Nazi concentration camp of Bergen Belsen to build businesses in France, Germany and the USA and make Britain his home, Thomas Kremer is particularly well placed to highlight the crucial differences between the essential attributes of societies on either side of the channel.

"Voters have been clamoring for an honest discussion of the issues behind Britain's relationship with Europe: cultural and historic as well as political and economic. This profound, perceptive and delightfully readable book is an answer to their prayers."
Anatole Kaletsky, The Times

Missing Heart of Europe - £11.99

These Tides magazineThese Tides magazine
May 2009

These Tides is a quarterly magazine published in support of EU-critical groups all over Europe.

TT is intended to serve as a 'trade journal' for all EU critics. It aims to
keep the international family of activists 'working for the post-EU Europe' across the continent informed of each other's campaigns and ideas.

These Tides is international. It carries articles about EU-critical movements both within EU member countries and beyond, with news from all areas of EU-critical thought and activity in Britain and overseas.

These Tides is cross-party. Interviews have been published with as diverse politicians as former Labour MP Tony Benn, Conservative peer Lord Tebbit, Labour MP Gisela Stuart and anti-EU Swedish Green MP Max Andersson.

While TT is now published by the Democracy Movement, it is editorially independent and a platform open to all EU critical groups and activists.

These Tides covers the ideas and activities of an international movement of people searching and campaigning for a better future for co-operation in Europe than the EU.
