“I enjoyed it. You have a vigorous writing style which should impact on the reader. Perhaps you underestimate some of the political and legal obstacles in the path of a federal Europe – but your optimism is welcome.”
You can find my author page here: Heinrich Kümmerle
The paperback has the ISBN 978-3-9823571-0-2
The hard cover has the ISBN 978-3-9823571-4-0
You can purchase the book via Amazon, in bookstores or directly from me (info@kuemmerle.name).
Heinrich Kümmerle is not only an avowed citizen of the world and a militant federalist, he has also been a European Federalist for a good three decades as well as the district chairman of the EUROPA-UNION Heilbronn since 2005.
With this book, which summarises his previous lectures about Europe and the European Idea, Kümmerle hopes to convince his fellow citizens of what Europe can be and win their commitment to such an Europe with its contribution to world peace.
Furthermore, this book is also intended to provide those who deal scientifically with Europe with the basics and documents in order to gain a deeper insight into the way of thinking and behavioural patterns of federalists on the one hand, and a quick overview of the history of the European unification movement.
I am delighted that I found an ideal translator for this endeavour in Philippa Carr; not only is she a renowned German into British and American Translator, but also holds a Master of Arts in European Governance and Politics. And the fact that she is an English lady living in Germany and Europe and therefore able to understand my thoughts perfectly, makes her the ideal candidate for translating this book into English.
I extend my greatest thanks to her for agreeing to translate this book, and also for ensuring a pleasant working relationship during this time.

This book was translated into British English by Philippa Carr MA who is a renowned German into British and American English translator in politics and international relations.
Philippa has an academic background in German and translation studies from the prestigious University of Warwick, as well as holding a Master of Arts in European Governance and Politics. These two complementary academic disciplines enable her to provide expert quality translations in the political sector.

This is now her second German into British book translation on a political theme.

It was launched and presented at the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung in New York, and gained international acclaim.
