All Out War – Tim Shipman
‘Shipman’s book is by far the best. It is a detailed, often pitch-perfect account that delivers the tale with an infectious sense of human drama – no mean feat, given the task of completing the whole thing so quickly’ —JOHN HARRIS, New Statesman
Tim Shipman gives the readers the Brexit backstory, an insight into decisions, mistakes and betrayals through a number of stories and anecdotes. He seeks not to address the rights and wrongs of Brexit, rather to explain how David Cameron chose to make the political gamble; right from his pledge to hold a referendum, to the campaign, his resignation and the tumultuous path towards the arrival of Theresa May. All Out War raises important questions and helps the reader look beyond what the eye can see, tracing the origin of a decision that changed everything!
