With the consolidation of the European Union and the opening of the Channel Tunnel, how can Britain develop a central place in Europe and ensure its future prosperity? Britain on the Edge of Europedescribes Britain's post-war involvement with the continent amd assesses the country's chances of enjoying the benefits of the projected European boom.
