Europe, a Leap into the Unknown

This book recreates the first decade of the history of the EU: why and how the ECSC, EEC and the EURATOM treaties were proposed and negotiated, as well as the fiasco of the EDC. This history is set in the context of an analysis of the thinking of the EU's "Founding Fathers" (Monnet, Schuman, Adenauer, de Gasperi & Spaak).
