French President Charles de Gaulle (1958-1969) has consistently
fascinated contemporaries and historians. His vision conceived out
of national interest of uniting Europe under French leadership and
overcoming the Cold War still remains relevant and appealing. De
Gaulle's towering personality and his challenge to US hegemony in
the Cold War have inspired a vast number of political biographies
and analyses of the foreign policies of the Fifth Republic mostly
from French or US angle. In contrast, this book serves to
rediscover de Gaulle's global policies how they changed the Cold
War. Offering truly global perspectives on France's approach to the
world during de Gaulle's presidency, the 13 well-matched essays by
leading experts in the field tap into newly available sources drawn
from US, European, Asian, African and Latin American archives.
Together, the contributions integrate previously neglected regions,
actors and topics with more familiar and newly approached phenomena
into a global picture of the General's international policy-making.
The volume at hand is an example of how cutting-edge research
benefits from multipolar and multi-archival approaches and from
attention to big, middle and smaller powers as well as
institutions.
