Synopsis
From one of America's best known foreign correspondents, an eye-opening account of the ascendancy of the European Union as a global superpower and rival to the United States.

Reid shows how quietly - and not so quietly - Europe is developing itself into an economic, political and cultural powerhouse., From one of America's best known foreign,correspondents, an eye-opening account of the,ascendancy of the European Union as a global,superpower and rival to the United States.
