*THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*
Keep calm – but do not carry on. There is nothing remotely inevitable about Brexit – except that it will be deeply damaging if it happens. Extricating Britain from Europe will be the greatest challenge this country has faced since the Second World War. And as negotiations with the EU expose the promises of the Brexit campaign to have been hollow, even some Brexit-voters now wish to exercise their democratic right to change their mind, seeing that the most pragmatic option is to … stop. It would certainly be the best thing for Britain. But how can it be done? Haven’t the people spoken?

No. In this indispensable handbook, Nick Clegg categorically debunks the various myths that have been used to force Brexit on Britain, not by ‘the people’ but by a small, extremely rich, self-serving elite, and explains precisely how this historic mistake can be reversed – and what you can do to make sure that it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars For a much better idea of the book's themes and worth
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2017
Don't be discouraged by the other reviews here. I've just bought this book and am really enjoying it so far, as it seems to be an intelligent, calm, entertaining and well informed treatise on the whole EU question. It may even become a landmark classic some day. If still not sure whether to buy, head over to Amazon UK where there are a lot more reviews to peruse. On there, it would boast a healthy average of virtually five stars if only one could discount the hateful one liner 'reviews' from the angry brigade who appear not to have actually bought or read it. And don't be put off by the book's over provocative title either; there's plenty to take on board for Brexiteer and Remainer alike.

3.0 out of 5 stars Apostasy as pragmatism
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2017
The arguments for remaining in the EU are put together in a cogent and useful form in the first two chapters of this short book, though the author, Nick Clegg, carefully, and glaringly, omits one of the most dismaying factors in the far-too-extended-referendum campaign: the TV debate between himself and resilient arch-Brexiteer and MEP (Farage). Clegg, alas, lost hands and feet down, simply because he had so little ability to argue for the positives for Europe.He had not done his homework. In this he was typical: the leavers may have told lies, but the remainers had no truths to tell. The third chapter, in which this ex-LD Leader encourages remainers to join either the Labour or the Conservative parties so as to subvert their formal Brexit-stance from within elevates apostasy into pragmatism and can only ensure his expulsion from the political Garden of Eden. No-one will touch him after this. And where do I come from? I'm an old SDP Europhile who bitterly regrets the current leadership of the LDs: yes, I have plenty of time for Cable's views, but no, what we need is not a cud-chewing cow but a raging pro-European bull: and that means sticking to your guns and your own party!

2.0 out of 5 stars Money for old rope
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2017
I previously read Clegg’s autobiography and he writes fluently and engagingly.

Where I felt the book let me down was that its title was “How to Stop Brexit” and at 55% of the way through not a word had been spoken on this matter.

Out of four chapters, the first offers a résumé of history and the EU so basic and familiar that I was tempted to skip it. The second chapter reiterated everything the Guardian and other pro-EU commentators had ever said about why Remain voters were unhappy with the Referendum campaign. Nothing new to be seen there.

At the beginning of the book – well, pamphlet – Clegg says it is “intended for those who don’t hold a strong view for or against Brexit”. In fact I think is serves only for those who are anti-Brexit Europhiles, to stiffen their resolve and have them writing to their MPs on a regular basis. But I did keep on going with the book because I wanted to know “how to stop Brexit”.

Finally the cunning plan was announced. The way to stop Brexit is by “getting MPs to vote down the deal they are presented with”. Well, that was predictable enough. Although Clegg also mentions that Jeremy Corbyn is pivotal to achieving this, and he is actually a Euro Sceptic. Never mind, there is “every chance that Corbyn can be cajoled and pushed” into blocking Brexit . Hmm. So stopping Brexit depends on how malleable Jeremy Corbyn is in the hands of Europhiles.

Once Brexit has been stopped, the Clegg-plan is for Sir John Major to be dispatched to agree a new EU-UK Convention with heads of governments so fast that no one has a chance to question it. Clegg’s vision is “the formalisation of an EU of concentric circles – with Britain reintegrated into it at the appropriate level.”

By 86% through the book the narrative was over and I was down to “Notes”. I had finished the book in around an hour.

I felt a bit miffed at how little, in both volume and content of interest, I got for my £4.99. But seeing as how Clegg lost his seat in Parliament and needs all the help he can get, I resisted the urge to ask for a refund.

Now he's not Deputy PM and not even an MP, I feel he's free to say his piece and is no longer constrained by all the party politics.

[I do note that NONE of the 1 star reviews are of the verified purchase variety, looks like they haven't even read the book.
Whereas all the 5 stars are - draw your own conclusions & Amazon do something to stop the trolls??!!]

He gives a good history lesson and looks at all parties attempts to leave/remain. I'm only half way thru and so far find it unambiguous and fair.
I'll add to this once finished but wanted to give a better balance to the comments (note I didn't say reviews, for they don't) below.

Finished the book, for yes it is short. Quite amazed that he encourages us to join the Labour Party! As a way of urging "Oh Jeremy" to change his views and vote with the other opposition parties to stop Brexit. It can be done.
I also now understand why all the high rollers (and yes, he does name and shame quite a few) were eager for Brexit - they wanted fewer regulations, less interference in their fraudulent deals. Makes sense now.
And what of the younger section of the country ? They voted to remain:
70% of the 18-24, 62% of the 25-34 and 52% of the 35-44 year olds. One wonders what would have happened if the 16-18 yr olds had voted for their future? One poll put them at 82% voting to remain. A close friend of mine said he voted to leave for his children, it seems now we've landed them with a future they didn't want! Yes, you see, I have read the book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Clegg says British voters can still stop Brexit
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 25, 2017
Verified Purchase
Yes, we can, says Nick Clegg in his readable and persuasive little book. He recalls the reasons and motives behind the Leave victory in the 2016 Brexit referendum and marshals the case for reversing the decision before it is too late. For my part, I find the case cogent and convincing.

Essentially, Brexit is far more complicated and damaging than voters ever imagined when they made their decision last year. Misled by a shameless and mendacious propaganda campaign, many simply did what came naturally and voted out of a vague sense of national pride. Most of them had no clue about the economic and political complications that make Brexit, in any rational assessment, one of the worst policy decisions ever made in the British Isles.

Nick Clegg was punished already in 2015 for his unfortunate coalition with the Conservatives in government. As a consistent and prominent supporter of EU membership from the start, he found himself on the losing side in the 2016 battle for British votes. Admirably, he has stuck to his guns and refused to drink the Kool-Aid that is currently poisoning the Conservative government led by Theresa May.

As a former leader of the Liberal Democrats, Clegg is so mortified by the electoral demise of his former party that he now advises his readers to vote Labour, in the vague and poorly founded hope that a government led by Jeremy Corbyn might find a way to reverse Brexit. Such a government would be far more likely to keep Britain in the single market and the customs union, which is a minimum condition for national prosperity in the foreseeable future, but it would probably also do great damage on other fronts, so this looks like bad advice.

The practical advice Clegg urges toward the end of his tract is sound. British voters who are unhappy at the prospect of Brexit should join a political party, attend political meetings, badger their MP, make their views known, and add their weight to a mass movement to demonstrate that the 2016 referendum decision is no longer valid. Democracy was never intended to mean one citizen, one vote, one time.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 21, 2017
Verified Purchase
A very good book. He accepts we cannot go back to a pre-referendum EU and looks to the possibility of Britain being in an outer ring of the EU, with some control over free movement of people, but lending its weight to joint security and foreign policy. On page 128; "Following the referendum , European politicians were ... baffled that the British government made no attempt even to explore whether the EU would be willing to open talks on reforming freedom of movement". So was I, given that such freedom was already causing problems in other EU countries. But Theresa May declared "Brexit is Brexit"; and despite the narrow result, which called for statesman-like leadership to prevent the toxic division that has ensued, she energetically pursued a hard Brexit. May she forever be condemned for it. The numerous one-star reviews of Clegg's book, all dated 12-15 October and few if any veriified purchases, suggest a coordinated attempt to lower the average review rating. Quite revealing of Leavers' disreputable tactics.
