- Summary:
- This is a political biography of Jean Monnet (1888-1979), the French political economist and diplomat who is regarded by many, including the author of this work, as the foundational figure in the formation of the European Union. Wells (history and international affairs, George Washington U.) describes Monnet as an "entrepreneurial internationalist" whose activities were central to four major post-war developments: the reconstruction of France, Franco-German reconciliation, the creation of the European Union, and the construction of the transatlantic community.
