Born out of a series of Oxford University lectures devised by the former director of the No. 10 Policy Unit, Andrew Adonis, Half In, Half Out presents a comprehensive and enlightening look at Britain's Prime Ministers over the past seven decades - and explores their often hugely differing attitudes towards our neighbours on the other side of the Channel.
