Series I: De Gaulle Materials and related materials

This subseries measures approximately 14.5 linear feet and is arranged chronologically. Materials include Wahl's dissertation, notebooks containing Wahl's notes on his interviews with de Gaulle, additional research material, and correspondence related to his research.

Materials from Wahl's exclusive interviews with de Gaulle in Algeria consist of notebooks and notes as well as Algerian maps, brochures, and itineraries. Remaining materials consist of supporting documents related to de Gaulle, including flyers and brochures about his regime from election and referendum years (in particular 1958, 1965, 1968); French, and to a lesser extent American and British, newspapers and newspaper clippings, as well as other publications that discuss, review, and/or analyze political events; brochures and drafts of manuscripts from conferences; student papers; and Wahl's notes and ideas on de Gaulle, Gaullism and the Fifth Republic. Correspondence relating to de Gaulle is interspersed in this subseries instead of being placed in the Correspondence series. Correspondents include Wahl's coterie of fellow academics, political scientists, and politicians who sent him their comments on the Gaullist regime.
