THE IMPOSSIBLE EUROPEANS,

Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London - 1983 hardcover, 5¾" x 8¾", with dust jacket Original bookseller's label inside front cover. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD price-clipped dust jacket Luigi Barzini sees a Europe that should, but won't, that must, but probably cannot, evolve a common will, speak with one voice, define its goals, defend itself and pursue a single foreign policy. Europe, he says, is rich, thicky populated, homogeneous, and productive enough to turn itself into a superpower overnight … IF it cannot understand the need to join together it may, in the end, be lost. Chapter headings, astutely, are: The Elusive Europeans; The Imperturbable British; The Mutable Germans; The Quarrelsome French; The Flexible Italians; The Careful Dutch; and The Baffling Americans. PRESS CLIPPINGS on Common Market from Australian publications LOOSELY INSERTED.
