Sommario/riassunto

During the 1960s, Charles de Gaulle's greatest quarrel was with the Americans. The American attitude towards this forceful European leader was, however, an equally defining part of the dispute. In this riveting study of transatlantic international relations, Sebastian Reyn traces American responses to de Gaulle's foreign policy from 1958 to 1969,



concluding that how Americans judged de Gaulle depended largely on whether their politics leaned to the left or the right.
