Abstract

This is the first comprehensive study of U.S. policy toward China during the presidency of Lyndon Johnson, a critical phase of the Cold War immediately preceding the dramatic Sino-American rapprochement of the early 1970's.

Abstract

Mai 1968 est le mois de la révolte d'une certaine jeunesse. Aux Etats-Unis, au Japon les étudiants contestent. En France, le régime gaulliste est ébranlé par les barricades. A Bruxelles, c'est l'ULB qui donne le ton. l'université sera occupée pendant 47 jours par une "assemblée libre" : le "Mouvement du 13 mai", qui rêve de changer la société. Refonte des structures, de l'enseignement et des examens seront l'aboutissement d'un élan de liberté qui, jusqu'au bout, oscillera entre réforme et utopie. Témoin et acteur de cette époque mouvementée, l'auteur nous en restitue les grands et les petits moments, avec une bonne touche d'humour.
