De Gaulle and the Machiavellian Strain in French Politics
The article analyzes Charles de Gaulle as a strong anti parliamentary figure, contrasting him with Mussolini and Hitler by arguing parliaments harmed France. It ties his actions to Machiavellian tactics, notes his Algeria stance and later independence, and compares his power consolidation to Khrushchev. It discusses his break from parliamentary tradition and his foreign policy shifts, and cites Aron on De Gaulle's initiative post Kennedy.
