De: Stephen Heron

Narrado por: Jack Jacobs

Brexit Briefly offers you a concise summary of the history and formation of the European Union and the decision of the UK to leave.

Politics can be complicated and filled with language that needs you to use a dictionary to decipher. Not with Brexit Briefly! This book has details on all the following: Brexit, the European Union, and all the nitty-gritty details in between. The audiobook’s language and descriptions make it an easy listen. So get listening and impress everyone you know with your knowledge of all things European politics and economics.

We begin by defining the European Union, which was not only an economic decision but also a political one that came with responsibilities to be followed by the states within the Union. Additionally, this audiobook follows the path that facilitated trade between the European Union states and what made the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland choose to exit such a system. Then it moves on to the decision of Britain to exit from the European Union (dubbed “Brexit”) and the consequences that befell the other countries who may or may not have wanted to leave as well. Lastly, we discuss some potential ramifications of Britain’s exit from the European Union in detail.

“Brexit Briefly” manages to take a highly complex and divisive topic and present it in a way that’s both accessible and entertaining.

I especially appreciated the exploration of the EU’s early formation and how those decisions still impact today’s politics. It’s a short listen, but it packs a punch of insight.

This audiobook manages to be both brief and thorough—a rare combination. It covers decades of political and economic developments in a way that never feels rushed or shallow. The narration is smooth, and the script is clearly written with clarity in mind. I walked away with a much better understanding of Brexit and the broader implications for Europe. Highly recommended!

Clear, Concise, and Captivating

“Brexit Briefly” truly lives up to its title — it’s brief, but not shallow.

It doesn’t just recount events—it gives context, explains motives, and presents consequences in a way that’s easy to grasp. The narrator’s delivery is also excellent. If you want a reliable and engaging Brexit summary, this is it.

Insightful but Brief

I found this audiobook insightful and well-written, though I did wish it spent more time on post-Brexit developments. It builds a strong foundation by explaining the formation of the EU and Britain's initial involvement, but some of the later sections felt a bit rushed. That said, it’s still a great introduction and worth the listen for anyone interested in modern European politics.
