1954 Diario di Parigi

Roberto Ducci

The Author, then forty years old, had been in Paris since 10 June 1954, as an diplomatic advisor with functions of Secretary General of the OEEC. It was precisely in the summer and autumn of that year that the crisis of the EDC and the search for an alternative solution to the problem of German rearmament were taking shape in Paris, Brussels, and London. Witnessing a historic moment, Ducci captures its memory in some pages that remained unpublished, written for personal use.
