Brian Crozier describes the whole range of De Gaulle's extraordinary and controversial career, and places his achievement in the context of world history. Here is De Gaulle the soldier and military theorist, the writer, the politician and national leader, the international statesman. And the personality of the man is here: the formidable will and self~discipline, the erudition, arrogance, blindness, and courage. Brian Crozier recounts, with great narrative skill, the turbulent period from 1890 to 1972 which saw two world wars, the occupation of France, colonial conflict and terrorism, and the nuclear age ~ in much of which the lonely figure of Charles De Gaulle played the central role. Mr. Crozier's exhaustive research throws new light on many aspects of De Gaulle's career: his petulant and tenacious dealings with Roosevelt and Churchill, the struggle for supremacy in France after the Allied invasion, the General's attitude toward Communism. But DE GAULLE is not merely a record of the events; it is also a critical assessment of De Gaulle's achievements and failures. It is likely that the conclusions will startle and displease both the General's admirers and his enemies. DE GAULLE is a book of lasting importance. And every page of it is absorbing.
