Mangold, Peter creator text ### I. B. Tauris & Company 2006 2026 monographic eng 275p,: 20 cm. In 1963, General de gaulle (described by the foreign Office as prime Minister macmillan's ""almost impossible ally"") aggressively vetoed Britain's first bid to join the common market. It was a blow that delayed Britain's entry for a decade and hastened the end of Harold macmillan's political career. Peter mangold explores the complex issues that bound the two men in the post-war world, from decolonization to co-operation in the Cold War, and the character traits that separated them in this fascinating portrait of an Anglo-French friendship that turned sour. /Peter Mangold index 327.41044 MAN 9781850438007 260304 20260306120751.0
