"Amidst all the noise, the heat and the rage generated by Brexit here are some much needed facts, insights and analysis on what really led to Brexit and how it is changing our politics forever."—Nick Robinson, Presenter, Today programme and former Political Editor at the BBC "Here is the thinking person's guide to Brexit... all the facts crunched so you don't have to, it is a trusty book to have close at hand in the years (yes, years) ahead. Tireless referees during the referendum, the authors were my valued sounding boards and, if not already, should be yours too."—Allegra Stratton, National Editor of ITV News"There is a need for a concise, well-written book that puts matters in perspective and sketches the impact on British politics and society. Brexit and British Politics, by Geoffrey Evans and Anand Menon, fits the bill."—Tony Barber, Financial Times"Nobody is better qualified than Geoff Evans and Anand Menon to provide a penetrating analysis of the UK's truly historic decision to leave the EU. This book is bound to be a must-read for anyone seeking an incisive guide to Brexit and its aftermath." —Tim Bale, Professor of Politics at Queen Mary University of London and author of The Conservative Party from Thatcher to Cameron"Geoffrey Evans and Anand Menon's authoritative text digs into the rebalancing of political values that lay behind the referendum."—Progress"For those who want a short, readable and well-researched introduction to Brexit and its place in British politics, this is the book to have. Its accessibility is deceptive: behind the text, there is a library of research that has been distilled into its pages."—Albert Weale, University College London
