Graham O'Dwyer

Charles de Gaulle, the International System, and the Existential Difference (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This innovative account of Charles de Gaulle as a thinker and writer on nationalism and international relations offers a view of him far beyond that of a traditional nationalist. Centring on the way de Gaulle regarded nations as individuals the author frames his argument by rationalising de Gaulle's nationalism within the existential movement that flowed as an intellectual undercurrent throughout early and mid-twentieth century France.
