Unknown Author

4.9/5 (33722 ratings)

Description:Translated by Elaine P. Halperin from Les Coulisses d'Europe (Presses de la Cité, 1968).As important and controversial as the man who dominates its pages, this is at once a biography of Jean Monnet, the behind-the-scenes statesman recently described by the New York Times as 'the father of Europe,' and an account of his lifelong efforts toward the formation of a United States of Europe in close partnership with the United States, as opposed to the anti-American, French-centered position of the Gaullists.Here, for the first time, is a detailed description of the major steps taken to unify Europe since World War II, a fascinating inside view of the high-level negotiations involved in working out details of the European Defense Commenity, Euratom, and the Common Market. The negotiations are presented as a struggle between two opposing views of what a unified Europe should be like: that of the Gaullists, who favor a federation of sovereign states with each member possessing a veto, and that of Jean Monnet and his disciples, who advocate a United States of Europe with minimum individual sovereignty and an international parliament. Over the years, this struggle has been spearheaded by two brilliant, determined and powerful figures, Charles de Gaulle and Jean Monnet, and much of the book's impact stems from watching their dramatic conflict develop.Combined with this study of Monnet's tireless drive for a United States of Europe is his own story: his liaison work between the French and British governments during World War I; his role in setting up the U.S. lend-lease program in the early days of World War II; and the evolution of his farsighted political philosophy. A lucid account of the progress made toward a United Europe under the inspired architecture of Jean Monnet, this significant and timely book is a major statement in the area of international relations and politicsWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
