Description

Julian Jackson's biography of Charles de Gaulle is a masterful portrait of a complex and fascinating figure. Drawing on previously unpublished sources, including letters, memoirs, and papers from the de Gaulle archive, Jackson sheds new light on the life and legacy of this iconic French leader.

De Gaulle was a man of strong convictions, who refused to accept the Nazi domination of France and instead led the country to independence. He was a visionary who challenged American hegemony, recognized the limitations of colonial ambitions, and put a broken France back at the center of world affairs. This book provides a thrilling and authoritative account of his life and times.

With a fluent style and a deep understanding of the historical context, Jackson brings de Gaulle to life in a way that is both engaging and informative. This is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in French history, politics, or biography.
