This book brings together extracts from a variety of proposals for uniting Europe, drawn up over the centuries. Each text is accompanied by a short commentary. The result is a fascinating compilation which reveals that the dream of a Europe at peace with itself has roots which go far back in history, and that many earlier ideas for a united Europe already contained the seeds of today's European Union.
