The essays in this volume examine selected national, regional
European, and international policies of Charles de Gaulle, giving
consideration to their significance in his own time, and today. Not
everything de Gaulle did withstands the test of time. Nor,
obviously, was everything beyond criticism in his own time.
Nonetheless, a main finding, in the words of one essayist, is that
de Gaulle had an 'uncanny sense of where history was going' and the
skill to position his country accordingly. De Gaulle also stands as
a testament to the power of individuals in history, a somewhat
unfashionable viewpoint in modern university curriculums. Today,
when France's destiny appears increasingly to depend on structures
and institutions beyond its national control, including a Europe
weakened by the sovereign debt crisis, and a global economic system
accountable to no one, it seems timely to reconsider the record of
the twentieth century's greatest Frenchman, whose skill at dealing
with the problems of his time can inspire today's generation of
politicians and statesmen.
