Gaullism, as a book category, gathers works on the ideas, leadership, and legacy of Charles de Gaulle and the political movement inspired by him, spanning the French Resistance, the founding of the Fifth Republic, and its aftermath. It highlights themes of national sovereignty and “grandeur,” a strong, popularly legitimated presidency, state authority paired with social solidarity and dirigiste economic planning, and an independent, pragmatic foreign policy (including distance from supranational control, France’s nuclear deterrent, and a distinctive stance toward NATO and Europe). The category includes biographies and memoirs, speeches and other primary sources, histories of decolonization and the Fifth Republic, studies of Gaullist parties and heirs (RPF, UNR, UDR, RPR, etc.), analyses of France’s relations with Europe and the United States, and critical assessments of Gaullism’s enduring influence on contemporary French politics.
