J. Gaffney

Political Leadership in France

From Charles de Gaulle to Nicolas Sarkozy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Gaffney analyzes how de Gaulle came to power in 1958: The drama surrounding the Fourth Republic's collapse, and the focus upon an exceptional individual meant that de Gaulle was able to confer a particular style of leadership on the Fifth Republic. The five Presidents who came after him have each capitalized on their own political 'persona.'
