Is there any such thing as a European identity? Amidst all the kaleidoscopic variety what - if anything - do 28 members of the European Union have in common? If the EU is to succeed the big states of Europe must discover and define that common identity.
"[A] series of nifty little essays-the thinking person's commuting read."
- Independent, on the Haus Curiosities series
"Haus is to be congratulated for its courage in dusting off the political pamphlet format and publishing a series of essays, short enough to be read in one sitting, in the internet age."
- Times Higher Education, on the Haus Curiosities series
"Stephen Green-Baron Green of Hurstpierpoint-is an articulate and compelling writer and thinker. . . . [He] articulates incisively, convincingly, and without romance the rationale behind the decline of the power of European states on the global scene. His well-researched and contextual arguments provide a lesson for non-European readers and a wake-up call to Europeans."
- Defense & Foreign Affairs Special Analysis
"Green argues the prime case for Europe as shared values rather than share values. . . . Certainly this short book should be compulsory reading for the Remain campaign, offering as it does some inspiration, hope and spice for those who self-define as Europeans. . . . The real shock is that this is a Tory . . . who is making the best case for Europe I've read in a long time. David Cameron eat your heart out!"
