...Charles de Gaulle, still keeping his holiday exile in Ireland, far from the men jostling for his place, such minor adjustments to his grand designs must not have seemed too unexpected or unpalatable. But in one throwaway line at the end of the campaign, Georges Pompidou surely caused the old general to bristle with anger and dismay. It was an observation that exposed as perhaps nothing else could the gap between De Gaulle's view of France and the world and that of Pompidou-and between the France of De Gaulle and that of post-De Gaulle. In examining...
Above all, Grashey lashed out at the principle of Innere Führung, or "inner direction." This Riesmanesque notion holds that an army must be more than a goose-stepping collection of robots blindly obeying orders. The soldier is supposed to follow commands because he understands the reasons for them, rather than jawohl-ing out of automatic respect for, or fear of, authority.

A woman married her brother-in-law after her husband was declared dead in World War II and bore her second spouse two children. When the first husband reappeared unexpectedly, he became not only...
After a coup succeeds, the plotters must demobilize their own forces lest the commanders-a treacherous lot by definition-get ideas about a "coup-within-the-coup." The new group should then "freeze" the situation by raising army pay, promoting fellow plotters, barring any flight of refugees, and flooding the radio with calls for sacrifice to cure the alleged sins of the deposed rulers...
