This book, “The Great Deception - the secret history of the European Union” by Christopher Booker and Richard North, tells for the first time the inside story of the most audacious political project of modern times: the plan to unite Europe under a single “supranational” government. From the 1920s when the European Union was first conceived by a British civil servant, this meticulously documented account takes the story right up to current moves to give Europe a political constitution, already planned 60 years ago to be the “crowning dream” of the whole project.
