The unmissable next instalment of Tim Shipman’s #1 bestselling Brexit quartet.

Industry Reviews
'Meticulously sourced, merciless and revelatory. It is a closely observed study of power, and how it is gained, used and lost' - FINANCIAL TIMES
'The quantity of work required to tell a complicated, many-sided story in such detail is astonishing. What do we learn? Well, many things of genuine interest to political followers and historians. Is his book worth it? In the end, undoubtedly yes… in an age of short-attention-span social media caricature, this is proper work, the real stuff of understanding. Historians will lean on it heavily. Would-be political leaders of the future will learn from it. It will set the narrative about how Brexit was handled, in a way other journalists can only envy' - ANDREW MARR, NEW STATESMAN
