From the Publisher:

A taut narrative of Charles de Gaulle who, as creator and leader of the Free French during WWII, saved the dignity of France and, as President of the Fifth Republic, brought his country back from the brink of civil war. Details his relationships with major leaders of the twentieth century and introduces material on de Gaulle's personal life which reveals two contradictory sides of this complex man.
