Ten Years On: The Untold Story of Brexit - Reflections on a Life of Campaigning

"The key missing piece in the Brexit story" Tim Shipman, *The
Spectator |"A wonderful read from one of the most quietly
influential people in politics in recent decades." Chris Mason, BBC

The 2016 Brexit
referendum caused a political earthquake, with aftershocks that are still being
felt a decade later. For many, including some who voted to leave, the result
came as a surprise. But for one man, it was not. The outcome that stunned so
many was something he had been working to achieve for twenty years.

You may not have heard
of Matthew Elliott, but you should have. He is one of Britain's most successful
campaigners, a reserved and thoughtful strategist who has single-handedly shaped
our political landscape. In 2011, he staved off an attempt to change our voting
system through the successful NOtoAV campaign. Then, five years later, he
steered Vote Leave to victory as its chief executive.

This extraordinary
memoir spans the period from the build-up to Brexit during the 1990s to the
present day, providing a fresh perspective on what really went on during the
campaign, how the result was won and its bitter aftermath. With his customary candour
and wit, Matthew reveals what it's like working side-by-side with Boris Johnson
and Dominic Cummings, their dealings with Nigel Farage and the tricks of the
trade that campaigners use to shape the news.

Here, ten years on
from the EU referendum, is the definitive story of Brexit, as told by the man
who had a front-row seat to the most extraordinary political campaign of the modern
era.
