De Gaulle (Life & Times series) by Julian Jackson
Charles de Gaulle, saviour of France's honour in 1940 and founder of the Fifth Republic in 1958, was a man of contradictions. He is a conservative who brought the communists into his government and an imperialist who completed France's decolonisation in Algeria.
'distinguished book' -- Andrew Roberts Sunday Telegraph 'Jackson tells this epic story with skill and understandingHis smartly produced book presents an admirably rounded portrait of its enigmatic subject, using telling quotations to probe a man who contained as many contradictions as the country with which he so thoroughly identified.' -- Jonathan Fenby BBC History Magazine
