About this book

In Kennedy, de Gaulle and Western Europe , Mahan revises prevailing interpretations of Franco-American relations during the early 1960s that either chastise de Gaulle for anti-Americanism or Kennedy for imposing U.S. policies on Europe. Summoning a wide range of French and American archival sources, this book demonstrates that the structure and dynamics of the Franco-American relationship during this period were embedded in complex multilateral relationships within the Western alliance.

Reviews

'Mahan's book offers by far the most comprehensive assessment of Franco-American relations during the Kennedy presidency.' - Jeffrey Vanke, Assistant Professor, History and International Studies, Guildford College, Greensboro
