Charles De Gaulle, and the France He Saved. A magisteral, sweeping biography of one of the great leaders of the 20th century - General Charles De Gaulle. The publication is to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the famous speech De Gaulle made to the Free French Forces from London on 18th June 1940, the origin of the French Resistance and one of the most important speeches in French history. Written with terrific verve and narrative skill, and yet rigorous and detailed, the private man and the public leader are both vividly brought to life through Jonathan Fenby's exhaustive research and astute analysis.
