PipherThis book describes the sequence of events by means of which the European Union (EU) was contrived from the time of its inception immediately following World War II up to the time of the book's publication in 2007. The word "contrived" is used here because it best describes the manner in which the Union of 2007, as portrayed in this book, was cobbled together. Its use is not intended to disparage either the political elitists who created the Union or this book's authors. For in reading about the process one can only marvel at the fact that the European elitists were able to create, compromise, adapt, jury-rig, and keep the Union together at all, let alone expand it; and equally impressive is the fact that this book's authors were able to outline that arduous process as well as they did in such a small book as this. For the most part, I found the book to be both interesting and informative; and it gave me a much greater appreciation for the difficulties involved in the EU's creation and maintenance, a few of which surprised me.To illustrate: I didn't know that the Union owes its beginning, at least in part, to fear on the part of France that Germany might one day regain its pre-WWII strength and once again dominate France and Europe; leading to this attempt to constrain Germany and tie it as closely as possible to the rest of Europe. I did know, however, that the EU was created solely by "treaty," i.e. without popular vote, but I was surprised that these authors seemed to downplay that fact although it was apparent throughout the book. And, although it was mentioned in passing that the EU's Constitution was put up for a popular vote only twice --- once in France and once in the Netherlands --- failing both times; I was surprised that this fact was glossed over so quickly. Somehow that didn't seem appropriate since the authors noted that the political elitists who were devising and governing the Union were concerned that they somehow had to convince the people of the separate once-Sovereign States that they were being represented by the Union and owed their allegiance to it much as they owed their allegiance to their native lands. Finally, I was surprised a bit by the hypocrisy of the EU's political leadership which, according to these authors, intended for the Union be the equal of the United States but decided that Europe should remain under the protection of the United States because it would be too expensive for the EU to defend itself. Apparently, all Unions are equal, but some are more equal than others.What did I like least about the book Two things: First, much has changed since 2007 regarding the EU and much of what I was reading seemed outdated. I would like to have been reading a more current evaluation of the Union, perhaps as of 2011-12. (The book could certainly use another revision.) Secondly, it was clear to me in reading the book that radical environmentalists had infiltrated the European Union's institutions and that the authors of this book clearly believed in man-made "global warming" as it was being pushed by Britain's now-discredited Climate Research Unit (CRU) and by the equally-discredited United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). That would have been acceptable if the authors had merely expressed that as their personal opinions. But they consistently expressed it as fact and as a desperate problem which if ignored would have a devastating impact on the entire world and, in doing so, they took great satisfaction in the fact that the EU was a major player if not leading the charge.That said: This is still an interesting book which should be of interest to anyone seeking to better understand the European Union and the foundation upon which it was built. In reading it, however, it would be well to take the authors' personal opinions with a grain of salt. I would also suggest that, as a primer, one might consider reading "The New Road to Serfdom" by Daniel Hannan before taking on this more challenging read.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.Strong for its sizeBy Max EllithorpeThis book is very short and very small, but the authors make up for its size with an easily readable and understandable primer on the European Union. This is an excellent companion for any student interested in learning the basics of the European Union. It was required as part of a course on West-European Politics. The authors break the book up into a number of sections, each describing different aspects of the institution.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Short and SweetBy rSquareThey aren't lying when they call it A Very Short Introduction. It is. That is great for me, as someone who is interested in understanding current situations without really being a huge history buff - or wanting to be, for that matter. This was concise and easy to follow and understand.See all 9 customer reviews...
