The stacks will be a bit emptier in the Library as we say good-bye to four colleagues who will retire over the summer. It is hard to say good-bye to your co-workers when they retire, and even harder when it happens around the same time.

The Schengen Agreement is a dead letter, and Britain stands on the brink of leaving altogether. The EU is unfit for the challenges of the coming age of increased global competition and high tech. In sum, the drive for an “ever-closer union” has set Europe on the wrong course: plunged it into depression, fuelled national antagonisms, debilitated democracy, and accelerated decline. In this pithy, rigorously argued book, leading historian John Gillingham examines a once great notion that soured long ago.
