Labour's European Dilemmas

ROGER BROAD graduated in Modern History from The Queen's College, Oxford. As a journalist he wrote for the Birmingham Post, Financial Times and other journals and newspapers. With R.J. Jarrett he write he wrote Community Europe and with Virginia Preston has recently edited a symposium Moored to the Continent? Britain and European Integration since 1945.

'The shifting attitudes of the Labour Party towards European integration between the premiership of Clement Attlee and that of Tony Blair provide a central theme of British History in the second half of the twentieth century. This lucid and well-researched survey for the student and the general reader, written by an Oxford-trained historian who later worked for both the European Commission and the European parliament, is therefore very welcome. It analyses key features, domestic as well as setting the scene for key debates on monetary and political union in the near future. It thus sheds light on Britain's post-war, post-imperial experience.' - Kenneth O'Morgan, author Britain since 1945: The People's Peace and Callaghan: a Life
