John F. Kennedy and Charles de Gaulle were two of the most iconic leaders of the 20th century. Kennedy, the charismatic young president of the United States, and de Gaulle, the enigmatic and visionary leader of France, forged a close and complex relationship that would have a profound impact on the course of world history.

In JFK and De Gaulle: A Powerful Partnership That Shaped the 20th Century, historian David Reynolds provides a fresh perspective on this remarkable relationship. Based on extensive research and exclusive interviews, Reynolds offers a nuanced and insightful account of the two leaders' interactions, from their first meeting in 1961 to their final encounter in 1963.

Reynolds argues that Kennedy and de Gaulle were drawn together by a shared belief in the importance of national sovereignty and a deep skepticism of the Soviet Union. However, their relationship was also marked by tension and conflict. De Gaulle was often critical of Kennedy's policies, particularly his handling of the Vietnam War. Kennedy, for his part, was frustrated by de Gaulle's independent streak and his unwillingness to cooperate with the United States on key issues.

Despite their differences, Kennedy and de Gaulle maintained a close personal relationship. They shared a love of history and culture, and they both had a deep respect for each other's intelligence and determination. Reynolds argues that this personal connection was essential to the success of their partnership.

JFK and De Gaulle: A Powerful Partnership That Shaped the 20th Century is a major contribution to our understanding of two of the most important figures of the 20th century. Reynolds's nuanced and insightful account of their relationship is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the Cold War, the United States, France, or international relations.
