The EEC Crisis of 1963 Summary

The EEC Crisis of 1963: Kennedy, Macmillan, de Gaulle and Adenauer in Conflict by O. Bange

This fresh look at the 1963 crisis in the western alliance following de Gaulle's veto of the British EEC application uses much new unpublished source material to offer a fascinating insight into the personal relationships of the western leaders.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 was made the sole scapegoat, in order to isolate France within the EEC.
