Product Description This dramatic new book looks ahead to the coming conflicts between the USA and the emerging United States of Europe. Should Britain become the fifteenth state of Euroland or the fifty-first state of America? John Redwood sets out four possible futures for Britain, concluding that joining the European political project would be bad for the UK and for the cause of free trade and democracy around the world. He explains why the USA has need of the special relationship with Britain and how the English-speaking world offers the best approach to peace and prosperity in a dot.com world. Review John Redwood has been among the leading Conservative critics of the development of the EU. He has this place because of the intelligence and perception of his insights into the real nature of the federal project, and because of the integrity and principle with which he has held his views. No-one is better equipped than he is to argue that Britain's future more sensibly lies in the English-speaking world, especially with America, than with the alien political and social cultures of the rest of Europe.' - Simon Heffer, leading Daily Mail commentator'...interesting critique of the European Union and evaluation of the position of Britain vis a vis the United States...' - Janet Hunter, Talking Politics'...interesting and well argued.' - David Smith, Sunday Times'His book will be of interest to those...who follow transatlantic and above all US-British policy discussions...' - Choice
