The United States, Britain and the Transatlantic Crisis: Rising to the Gaullist Challenge, 1963-68

By James Ellison

Book Overview

The greatest threat to Western unity in the 1960s came not from a communist enemy but from an ally: France. De Gaulle challenged the dominance of the US by bringing crises to the EEC and NATO and seeking d tente with the Soviet bloc. As this book shows, the US and Britain cooperated successfully to ensure that his plans did not prosper.
