Abstract

Hesitating between Pétain and Weygand, then Darlan and Giraud, the FDR administration finally settled on de Gaulle as the absolute last resort. Still, absent in much of the book is a deeper analysis of the FDR-de Gaulle relationship that has occupied other scholars.[1] Neiberg provides a few choice quotations periodically, but FDR is for the most part MIA. In summing up his main argument, Michael Neiberg writes that the U.S. relationship with France during the Second World War began with a "bad policy based on flawed assumptions.".
