John McCormick(
Book
)
8 editions published in 2013 in English and held by 521 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

It shows how the EU has improved the lives of Europeans in countless ways, and how it has given Europe a powerful presence on the international stage. Guaranteed to illuminate as well as spark debate, this book will appeal to anyone who seeks to better understand what Europe means and why it matters."--Page [4] de la couverture

Why Europe matters for Britain : the case for remaining in by
John McCormick(
Book
)
6 editions published in 2016 in English and held by 113 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
As Britain prepares to go to the polls to settle its European future, this accessible book makes the case for remaining in the European Union. It argues that in spite of the EU's undoubted problems, Europe is a more prosperous, peaceful and secure place as a result of political and economic integration. Not only does the book set out the countless ways in which membership of the EU has improved British lives, but it also takes on the arguments of the Brexiteers. It shows these are too often based on myths and misunderstandings, and shows how a more accurate picture of the EU can enable us to appreciate its achievements and address its challenges.--
