French leader Charles de Gaulle's Cold War foreign policy has variously been portrayed as irrational and guided mainly by anti-US prejudice by some and by others as merely anti-hegemonic. Additionally, scholars have debated the extent to which de Gaulle's foreign policy was guided by some grand design, and if so, what the goals of his plans were and whether they were achievable. Martin (European Institute, Washington, DC) tackles all of these questions in his analysis of de Gaulle's foreign policy, arguing first that, while de Gaulle was not guided by anti-American hostility, the goal of countering US power became increasingly central to his policies during the 1960s. Secondly, connecting France's policies towards its Western allies with its opening to the Eastern bloc and describing the close ties between France's security and monetary policies, he argues that one can identify a Gaullist grand design that was aimed at recapturing great power status for France and overcoming the bipolar Cold War order. These goals, he further argues, were not quixotic, although de Gaulle did make important mistakes that prevented the realization of his diplomatic agenda.

Recenzijos

a well-written, vibrant presentation of how world events  interacted with and impacted  de Gaulle's  grand design, creating  a comprehensive understanding of the general  in the Cold  War.  Highly recommended.  ·  Choice





While there is a lot of information for readers to take in, the subject is inherently complex, spanning different aspects of French foreign policy and the politics of other countries and institutions. In spite of this complexity, Martin displays a good grasp of the material.  ·  H-France Review





In the end, de Gaulles overall aim was to restore Frances status as a great power; but that ship had long sailed; probably as long ago as the 1920s. It was a valiant effort that Martin has documented well in a very readable bookbut ultimately one that was doomed to failure.  ·  Journal of Contemporary European Studies





[ The book] is extremely well researched, well written, and Martin accomplishes his stated objective: namely, to provide a more balanced account of de Gaulle that goes beyond views of him as either a visionary, or an irresponsible and anti-American nationalistMartins analysis makes a unique contribution in that it examines the linkages between the General's economic, political and security policy in order to understand how the three came together to shape his overall policy toward the US.  ·  Erin Mahan, Chief Historian, Office of the Secretary of Defense 





This is a very detailed, carefully argued and extensively researched study of de Gaulles ambition to restore Frances position as a global power during the last half of his presidency under the Fifth Republic by challenging the US claim to leadership of the Western, trans-Atlantic alliance during the Cold War.  ·  John Kim Munholland, University of Minnesota





Drawing on very impressive research in document collections and memoirs from France, Great Britain, and the United States, Martin narrates the development, implementation, and rapid decline of de Gaulles efforts to assert a new French role in the Cold War In contrast to the English and French-language scholarship that treats de Gaulle as a strategic hero or an impetuous villain, this book re-examines this seminal figure as a Cold War politician. This is a compelling and very valuable portrait.  ·  Jeremi Suri, University of Texas at Austin
