Europe's Last Chance

"One of the best and most succinct accounts of the EU's negotiating position [regarding Brexit] can be found in Guy Verhofstadt's book Europe's Last Chance."—Simon Head, New York Review of Books

"Europe's Last Chance is a compelling case that Europe must forge a new identity...One of the hidden charms of the book, at least for the American reader, is that Mr. Verhofstadt implores Europe to emulate the U.S. in practically everything."—James Traub, Wall Street Journal

"[Verhofstadt] offers an insider's view, not least of prevailing issues such as Europe's toothless responses to Middle Eastern conflict and Russian belligerence. His hypothetical 'United States of Europe,' predicated on early efforts towards an EU is both hugely ambitious and highly plausible."—Nature

"Verhofstadt, former prime minister of Belgium, issues a call to action in this thoughtful and well-argued policy primer... Impassioned and logically sound, this clearly presented treatise presents an appealing way forward from a troubled present."—Publishers Weekly

"With the entire European project severely threatened, Belgium's former prime minister offers a prescription to save the European Union...[Verhofstadt presents] a proper diagnosis [with] some good medicine."—Kirkus

"You don't have to agree with Verhofstadt to appreciate his blunt, honest, and readable style as he guides us through the current crises. It's the most interesting book on Europe and EU disasters you will read."—Richard Quest, presenter of CNN's Quest Means Business

"A clarion call for Europe's future, written by one of today's leading champions of the European Union. Verhofstadt offers stark warnings and makes a compelling case that none of us can afford to ignore."—John McCormick, Professor of Political Science at Indiana University, and author of Why Europe Matters: The Case for the European Union

"Guy Verhofstadt's post-Brexit, post-Charlie Hedbo portrait of the failings of the European Union is as devastating as his solutions are bold. Those interested in the future of the EU, for both the sake of Europeans and Americans, owe it to themselves to read this spirited book and wrestle with its ideas."—Michael S. Neiberg, author of Potsdam: The End of World War II and the Remaking of Europe
