#1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
‘The best political book of the year’ Andrew Marr
‘A superb work of storytelling and reporting. Sets new benchmark for the writing of contemporary political history’ Guardian
The only book to tell the full story of how and why Britain voted to leave the EU.
This is the acclaimed inside story of the EU referendum in 2016 that takes you behind the scenes of the most extraordinary episode in British politics since the Second World War.
With unparalleled access to all key players, this is a story of calculation, attempted coups and people torn between principles and loyalty. It is a book about our leaders and their closest aides, the decisions they make, how and why they make them and how they feel when they turn out to be so wrong.
In All Out War, Tim Shipman has written a political history that reads like a thriller, exploring how and why David Cameron chose to take the biggest political gamble of his life, and why he lost.

‘I can't imagine a more even-handed or better sourced, all points-of-view account of the biggest story in British politics since WWII ... A fine book’ ANDREW MARR, Sunday Times
'Shipman's dispatches are a must read if you want to understand what happened beneath the smog and beyond the noise of the conflict’ NICK ROBINSON

‘The essential account ... Shipman has spoken to every key individual to produce the definitive first draft of history, a comprehensive yet impartial study of how Brexit won’ Financial Times
‘Excellent ... Shipman convincingly marshals fresh evidence to prove what we already half-knew’ WILL HUTTON, Observer
‘The best political book of the year was undoubtedly Tim Shipman’s masterly ‘All Out War’’ New Statesman

‘Thorough, comprehensive and utterly gripping. It is hard to imagine a better first draft of history’ Economist
‘Undoubtedly the British political book of the year’ ALEX MASSIE
‘Shipman, one of the most brilliant, best informed and well-connected journalists in Westminster, has written a superlative book which does full justice to a momentous time’ PETER OBORNE
