description: 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look at the 1963 crisis in the western alliance following de Gaulle's veto of the British EEC application uses new unpublished source material to offer a fascinating insight into the personal relationships of the western leaders.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.
