I got this (for $4.95 at Hamilton Books, ultra-cheap) because I liked the cover and I thought it was much more of a casual history than it turned out to be.
But it turns out to be an examination of Brexit (well, at least it's faintly anti-Brexit), using historical context to explain how Britain got to Brexit. I must have misread or was misled by the online description when I bought it. Really beautiful cover, though! But the book isn't my cuppa tea (ha ha). I read a couple chapters but now it's going into the donation bin.
As a bull of seven, I'm definitely too old to finish reading a book I'm not really into.

That’s a pretty slim book for a history of Britain, all right, but it must go at a pretty good clip. He got two stories out of the way just on the cover!
