[EAN: 9780312220181], Near Fine, [PU: Palgrave Macmillan, U.S.A.], Jacket, 2000. xv, 291pp. B&W images. Preface by Peter Catterall. "This fresh look at the 1963 crisis in the western alliance following de Gaulle's veto of the British EEC application uses new unpublished source material to offer a fascinating insight into the personal relationships of the western leaders. It challenges the orthodox view, showing that the ultimate breakdown came after Anglo-German and Anglo-American cooperation to ensure that de Gaulle made the sole scapegoat, in order to isolate France within the EEC." Contents include: Macmillan's grand design (1959-60) as a starting point for the application; The main obstacle: de Gaulle; Different American ideas; Adenaeur takes his stand; Nassau: A new look at its meaning and its promotion; Before the veto; The ministerial meeting - a first dramatic encounter; Asenauer's and de Gaulle's plan for a compromise; Hysteria in the western camp: 22-28 January 1963; and The breakdown in Brussels - purely the fault of the French?; et.al. Dust jacket has very light wear to edges and top of rear panel; not price-clipped. Book has gilt titles to spine. Boards, pages, and contents are in NF condition with no inscriptions.
