Prime example of leading through influence rather than authority

Recommended reading is Jean Monnet's book, Memoirs

De Gaulle said about Monnet: "ce petit financier à la solde des Américains"

[paganel → JPLeRouzic]

On this, as with many other things, De Gaulle was right. Reading Michel Winock's book on the demise of the Fourth Republic [1] convinced me of it.
