About the book
Sunday Times political editor Tim Shipman tells the story of the 2016 referendum in which Britain voted to leave the European Union. With access to all the main players, he follows the leaders and their closest aides behind the scenes: the decisions they made, how and why they made them, and how they felt when those decisions proved wrong. The account is one of calculation, attempted coups and people caught between principle and loyalty, and it asks why David Cameron took the largest political gamble of his career and why he lost it. It was shortlisted for the 2017 Orwell Prize and reached number one on the Sunday Times best-seller list.
Marc Andreessen described it as the inside story of Britain's decision to leave the EU, asked whether the outcome was economic self-destruction or national liberation, and predicted consequences lasting decades.
