'Cato The Younger' is a pseudonym for the writer of this fierce and forensic naming and shaming of those who for reasons of greed, ideology or folly were responsible for poisoning an honest understanding of the EU's value to Britain, and paving the way for the Leave vote in the referendum. Seventy-five years ago, a similar book, Guilty Men, was published. Written under the pseudonym 'Cato', it attacked those whose policy of appeasement failed to prepare Britain for war with Nazi Germany. Both the original Cato and his great-grandson, Cato the Younger, warned the leaders of Ancient Rome against folly. Guilty Men: The Brexit Edition is full of advice for leaders to follow to avert greater folly ahead.
