- Europe, giving shape to an idea
Council of the European Union, General Secretariat of the Council, Tavares da Silva, J. (editor), Publications Office of the European Union, 2009.
This book aims to present a part of European history which is little known - of successive attempts to give concrete shape to that ambitious vision. In doing so, it shows that the objective of Europe at peace with itself has roots which go back deep in history, and that many of the ideas put forward to achieve that objective over the years contained the seeds of the European Union as it exists today.
- Options européennes 1945-1985
European Commission, Van Helmont, J. and Deniau, J., 1986.
Jacques van Helmont a participé à tous les grands moments de la vie européenne aux côtés de Jean Monnet pendant un quart de siècle, en particulier comme secrétaire général du comité d'action pour les États-Unis d'Europe. C'est donc comme témoin engagé qu'il pose la question: « comment expliquer alors qu'en quarante ans tant d'hommes de bonne volonté et de grand talent n'aient pas mené l'Europe à l'union attendue? ». Il y apporte des éléments de réponse en relatant les progrès et les échecs de l'unité européenne. ... Un rôle majeur est attribué à Jean Monnet auquel un chapitre complet est consacré en plus des références constantes que contiennent les autres chapitres.
