Tim Shipman's book is an intense journalistic focus on the politics leading up to and about Brexit (from mid 2015 through Sept 2016). The book is long (600 + pages) and it could have been edited effectively without losing its color and analytical depth. Its vivid, even-handed portraits of the players (Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Jeremy Corbyn, David Cameron and Theresa May, Dominic Cummings) are enlightening, the "Remain" and the "Leave" landscape and strategy are fairly presented, its June 2016 outcome is dramatic (even though known) and its finale is a Shakespearian political scramble within the Tories leading up to the election of Theresa May as party leader. Shipman reserves his well thought out opinions for his thirty (30) page conclusion. The beginning includes an informative timeline and he adds Johnson's "In" Article and Cameron's "Victory" speech.
