As a third-country national living in the EU, I found Howard's book fascinating. It provided some much appreciated context around citizenship in EU countries - the history, the politics and how the requirements have changed over time (often for reasons that I found rather startling). The book is well organized with a good overview of citizenship in Europe and the impact of certain historical trends like colonialism and gradual democratization. In Part II he goes into more detail with country profiles (Liberal versus Restrictive EU countries and those in between). Anyone considering becoming a naturalized EU citizen will find this an excellent resource.
