All Out War: The Full Story of How Brexit Sank Britain's Political Class is a 2016 political history book by the Sunday Times political editor Tim Shipman, focusing on the 2016 Brexit Referendum. [1]

Reception

In the London Review of Books , Ian Jack declared that it was, as of 2017, "the fullest and most reliable account of the [Brexit referendum] campaign". [2] In The Guardian , Will Hutton called it "excellent", observing that "there seems to be no one to whom [Shipman] hasn't spoken and whose motives he does not pretty accurately portray and understand." [3] Stephen Bush of New Statesman praised Shipman's "lucid prose". [4] The Economist found it to be "thorough, comprehensive and utterly gripping", and noted the "remarkably short time" in which Shipman wrote it. [5]
