From World War II through the upheavals of Vietnam, Charles de Gaulle infuriated and antagonized American presidents. Yet his worldview reflected his profound patriotism and his belief that France had a destiny to shape world affairs. William Keylor's empathy for France, his mastery of the vast source material, and his skill as one of our leading diplomatic historians make this insightful study of Franco-American relations during de Gaulle's long career a delightful and essential book., From World War II through the upheavals of Vietnam, Charles De Gaulle infuriated and antagonized American presidents. Yet his world view reflected his profound patriotism and his belief that France had a destiny to shape world affairs. William Keylor's empathy for France, his mastery of the vast source material, and his skill as one of our leading diplomatic historians make this insightful study of Franco-American relations during de Gaulle's long career a delightful and essential book., General Charles De Gaulle, the prickly leader of the Free French during World War II and later president of the Fifth French Republic, crossed swords with five successive presidents of the United States, establishing real rapport with only one of them--Richard Nixon. William Keylor gives us a lively, thoughtful, and deeply researched account of these relationships., In a dense, concise and nuanced text, drawn up from a rich bibliography of secondary sources and numerous archives, drawn from both sides of the Atlantic, the historian retraces the complex relationship that General de Gaulle maintained with five of the six American presidents he had dealt with, from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Lyndon B. Johnson, before experiencing a real upturn with Richard M. Nixon.... Very pleasant to read, punctuated with tasty quotes that make the historical analysis particularly lively, this study gives pride of place to human relations likely to influence strictly geopolitical considerations.... [A]llows a nice historical perspective of Franco-American relations., General Charles de Gaulle, the prickly leader of the Free French during World War II and later president of the Fifth French Republic, crossed swords with five successive presidents of the United States, establishing real rapport only with the sixth'e"Richard Nixon. William Keylor gives us a lively, thoughtful, and deeply researched account of these relationships., De Gaulle's personal relations with his American counterparts ran the spectrum from virtually non-existent (Johnson) t0 disdain and distrust (FDR) to exceedingly cordial (Nixon). This aspect of the book provides a fascinating window into the history of the time, but is perhaps of limited applicability to today's foreign policy analyst or practitioner. Yet Keylor's story becomes both interesting and potentially quite useful when he describes how de Gaulle deftly navigated, and in other respects shaped, the postwar European landscape.... What Keylor's history ultimately shows us is that de Gaulle was perhaps the best friend we never knew we had., From World War II through the upheavals of Vietnam, Charles de Gaulle infuriated and antagonized American presidents. Yet his worldview reflected his profound patriotism and his belief that France had a destiny to shape world affairs. William Keylor's empathy for France, his mastery of the vast source material, and his skill as one of our leading diplomatic historians make this insightful study of Franco-American relations during de Gaulle's long career a delightful and essential book.--William I. Hitchcock, University of Virginia General Charles de Gaulle, the prickly leader of the Free French during World War II and later president of the Fifth French Republic, crossed swords with five successive presidents of the United States, establishing real rapport only with the sixth--Richard Nixon. William Keylor gives us a lively, thoughtful, and deeply researched account of these relationships.--Robert Paxton, Columbia University In this elegantly written and extensively researched book, Keylor provides an excellent account of how six US presidents--from FDR and his stubborn refusal to recognize the leader of Free France to Richard Nixon and his embrace of the founder of the Fifth Republic--dealt with the de Gaulle challenge. At a time when the United States and Europe seem bound to drift further apart--as de Gaulle believed was inevitable--this is a must-read.--Frederic Bozo, Sorbonne (University of Paris III), Over the course of 11 chapters, Keylor charts the path of Charles de Gaulle, France's foremost 20th-century leader, as he interacted with the six American presidencies that accompanied his political career. Though emphasizing and elucidating de Gaulle's relationship with those leaders, Keylor also provides a substantial biography of the first president of France's Fifth Republic (established in 1958). The source base draws widely from primary sources, yet the author does a good job of incorporating the salient points of the numerous de Gaulle biographies that have appeared over the years. Some discussions are extremely rich, notably those concerning the Frenchman's relationships with Presidents Roosevelt and Eisenhower. The balanced approach corrects several common misconceptions that dominate American views of French foreign policy in the 1950s and 1960s by contextualizing France within a globally evolving international situation.... this book succeeds in charting the many disputes that made de Gaulle both unbearable in and essential to the Franco-American special relationship.
