The greatest threat to the Western alliance in the 1960s did not
come from an enemy, but from an ally. France, led by its mercurial
leader General Charles de Gaulle, launched a global and
comprehensive challenge to the United State's leadership of the
Free World, tackling not only the political but also the military,
economic, and monetary spheres. Successive American administrations
fretted about de Gaulle, whom they viewed as an irresponsible
nationalist at best and a threat to their presence in Europe at
worst. Based on extensive international research, this book is an
original analysis of France's ambitious grand strategy during the
1960s and why it eventually failed. De Gaulle's failed attempt to
overcome the Cold War order reveals important insights about why
the bipolar international system was able to survive for so long,
and why the General's legacy remains significant to current French
foreign policy.
