"Starting with an analysis of de Gaulle's philosophy and the background of the Third Republic, the book traces the development of Gaullism during the war years and the Fourth Republic, details the founding of the Fifth Republic and its foreign and domestic policy, and examines the problems that came to a dramatic crystallization in the riots of May 1968. It concludes with a discussion of the emergence of Pompidou and a look at the future of post-Gaullist France. The author shows that the death of Charles de Gaulle meant the death of Gaullism as a powerful political movement and for the ideas of Gaullism to continue, they must form in what de Gaulle despised--a political party" [from the dust jacket].
