Description

WTF? presents an analysis of the underlying economic reasons why Britain voted to leave the EU in the 2016 referendum, and charts the events leading up to the referendum. [1] It is framed by two letters Peston sent to his father Maurice who died in early 2016. [2] [3]

Reception

Writing in the Financial Times , political scientist Vernon Bogdanor said the book was "a deeply thoughtful analysis that should be mandatory reading for anyone seeking to understand where we have gone wrong." [4] [5]
