De Gaulle by Charles Williams

This is the biography of General Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970), President of the Fifth Republic of France. A product of Northern French provincial society of the 19th century - austere, catholic and nationalist - de Gaulle was, according to Williams, "the last great Frenchman". Whatever the arguments concerning de Gaulle's legacy, in his single-minded devotion to his country, and in his skill and strength in pushing it, there would have been no France if there had been no de Gaulle.
Charles Williams - Lord Williams of Elvel - was made a Labour Life Peer in 1985 and successively spoke in the House of Lords on Trade and Industry, Defence and Industry. He is the biogragher of Charles de Gaulle (The Last Great Frenchman) and cricketer Donald Bradman.
