In June 2016, the people of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. As the EUesquo;s chief negotiator, for four years Michel Barnier had a seat at the table as the two sides thrashed out what esquo;Brexitisquo; would really mean. The result would change Britain and Europe forever.
During the 1600 days of complex and often acrimonious negotiations, Michel Barnier kept a secret diary. He recorded his private hopes and fears, and gave a blow-by-blow account as the negotiations oscillated between consensus and disagreement, transparency and lies.
From Brussels to London, from Dublin to Nicosia, Michel Barnierssquo;s secret diary lifts the lid on what really happened behind the scenes of one of the most high-stakes negotiations in modern history. The result is a unique testimony from the ultimate insider on the hidden world of Brexit and those who made it happen.
