DE GAULLE
by Jackson, Julian
1-251570
A deep look into Charles de Gaulle's personality and upbringing and how these factors influenced the creation of the Fifth Republic in France. Details how he oversaw the final stages of France's withdrawal from its last colonies in the 1960s and spent much of his career in opposition to France's military establishment. Yet it was precisely because of these contradictions that he was able to reconcile so many of the conflicting strands in French politics. In 1958, in response to a coup by the French military in Algeria, De Gaulle introduced a new political system, the Fifth Republic, ushering in a period of stability that has been held to the present day. Contains 20 halftones.
