To those who think Europe matters, and even more so, to those who don't "... Michael Tracy's "Memoirs" recount his experiences from boyhood in wartime Scotland, through his life in "public school" and university, to postings in various international organisations and a senior position within the European Union in Brussels; then to involvement in Russia and other Central/European countries in the 1990s. The book concludes with an assessment of current issues facing both the EU and Russia; also Britain in its relations with the EU.
