On August 22, 1962, Charles du Gaulle, then President of France, travelled with his wife and entourage through a quiet Paris suburb. With a shot, everything changed. Over 180 bullets showered the cars, the streets, the shops. Amazingly, everyone escaped without injury....but the hunt was now on. Who and why would someone attempt to kill one of France's most beloved political figures? In gripping narrative, this book chronicles the planning of the failed attempted and everything that happened after.
