In 1963, General de Gaulle brutally vetoed Britain's first bid to join the Common Market. It was a blow that hastened the end of Harold Macmillan's political career. This book talks about the personal duel that shaped Anglo-French diplomacy. It is a story of a friendship turned sour and of the turbulent relations between Britain and France.
