The Full Story of How Brexit Sank Britain’s Political Class
Ratings5
Average rating4.3
It's a good book, but it's unbalanced!
“All out War” is seen entirely from the side of its political players, from top players to campaign managers, including the infamous Dominic Cummings (who for me will always have the face of Benedict Cumberbatch!), and it offers a range of viewpoints that have not been taken into account enough... But, despite the very high level of documentation, more than 700 pages cannot all be kept on the political level, not in a style that, for the average reader, has little that is compelling! So much reiteration, catwalks of names unknown to those not steeped in British politics, long moments devoid of any emotion, should have been compensated for with the point of view of the man on the street, of the two generations comparing... Brexit meant a political and social watershed, and the second aspect was definitely overlooked!
I admire the author's consistency and professionalism, but he should not rely on the reader's patience, he should compel it.
