I'm English but got an interest in Ireland as my city has lots of Irish people and was the only mainland city to elect a pro independence MP, and like most people here I have Irish grandparents and will probably get an Irish passport soon. It honestly depends who you ask, I've met northern Irish people who are adamant that they are British, others who don't believe in Northern Ireland and refer to it as 'the north of Ireland' and Irish people who don't care as long as there isn't violence. I've started reading this book which is fantastic https://www.amazon.co.uk/Making-Sense-Troubles-Northern-Conflict/dp/024196265X

Really impartial and gives both sides views but tried to remain neutral and just give out the facts. I highly recommend it.

This is a short, well written article that partially answers your question.

If you are looking to get an even more in depth understanding of Slovenia and its history, best way to do that would be by reading a book about history of Slovenia. You have to know the past to understand the present. :) This is a book on Slovene history that I am familiar with. Unfortunately I don't know of anymore English books that would give you a more comprehensive answer to your question.

In Europe by Geert Mak (Amazon)

  • ISBN-10: 0307280578
  • ISBN-13: 978-0307280572

    It is written as a trip trough Europe in which he tells the story of Europe through small personal stories of people he meets along the way.

    ​

    It is not exactly what you are looking for but it is still one of the best books on the history of Europe.

I highly recommend The Coming of the Third Reich, which covers the background in which the Nazi party came to exist and then took power. It covers 1871-1933. Incredible book.

And yeah, the parallels to current world leaders are obvious and upsetting.

You could have a nice conversation. According to this book, aliens speak a 'higher form of Hungarian'.

If you really want to be thorough, without going so far as studying this topic at college/university, College of Europe's prof. Neill Nugent has The Government and Politics of the European Union that is used by many as a handbook in university courses.

Shopping at Waitrose.
Painting your house in Farrow and Ball paints.
Having a large gun dog rather than a small fluffy one in a bag.
Old Volvo rather than brand new BMW

Watching the English is good on this class thing. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Watching-English-Hidden-Rules-Behaviour/dp/0340818867

London:

Check if you can still reserve a visit to the Sky Garden.
And you should be fine with 7 days, there are a lot of things to see and do.

If you can, read the book [The Very Bloody History of London] -- it is a novelised comedic history book, you can get a lot of tips for places to visit from it.

I recommend this book to you. I'm reading it for the first time and, as someone English, it's making me realise that a lot of the stuff we do and the way we think is really really weird.

It's on blu ray now, if you're not up for the myriad less-than-legitimate means of acquiring it.

There isn’t so much, and I’m saying it’s because of the proliferation of arms among all classes that acts as a deterrent. more guns less crime

I don't think there's many books of all of our history in English. [This one] (https://www.amazon.com/Land-Between-History-Slovenia/dp/3631628773) is the only one I could find. I can't tell you wether it's good or not but it's pretty much the only one.

>the odd bit of Marxist literature.

This sort of thing?

Making Sense of the Troubles: A History of the Northern Ireland Conflict is a pretty fair examination of the conflict. As someone else said, you'd probably be as well to read about stuff from the start of the 20th century and even earlier to get a real sense of it, but the above book is a decent one to get into the meat of the conflict.

Read this: https://www.amazon.com/New-Tsar-Reign-Vladimir-Putin/dp/0345802799

Really, read it. The sheer amount of money this man has stolen from the Russian people is beyond anything.

I'm going to be pessimistic and provide this book by Ford and Goodwin - admittedly, however, books of a similar disposition could be archetypal of all over Europe at the moment, but people coming to the UK (especially from outside of Europe) should definitely give the book more than a passing glance. It's contemporary and, following the 2008 Wall Street crash, it doesn't look like it'll be going away any time soon.

The book is called "Revolt on the Right: Explaining Support for the Radical Right in Britain", and focuses primarily on the rise of Farage and UKIP into the public conscious - for those unaware (to use a few gross simplifications), UKIP is the UK's "Front National"/"Swiss People's Party"; Farage is the UK's Geert Wilders.
