Focusing on the complexities of Charles de Gaulle's ideology and political actions, Mahoney challenges common misconceptions about the leader, particularly in Anglo-American contexts. The study explores how de Gaulle is often mischaracterized as a narrow nationalist or anti-democratic figure. By examining his views on modern democracy, Mahoney reveals that de Gaulle had a nuanced understanding, neither rejecting liberal democracy nor idealizing alternatives to it. This analysis offers a fresh perspective on de Gaulle's legacy and thought.
