The Paris game

Charles de Gaulle, the liberation of Paris, and the gamble that won France

Edición de la obra The Paris game

"The Paris Game is a dramatic recounting of how an obscure French general, under sentence of death by his government, undertakes the most enormous gamble of life: to fight on alone after his country’s capitulation to Nazi Germany. In a game of intrigue and double-dealing, Charles de Gaulle must struggle to retain the loyalty of Winston Churchill against the unforgiving opposition of Franklin Roosevelt and the traitorous manoeuvring of a collaborationist Vichy France. How he succeeds in restoring the honour of France and securing its place as a world power is the stuff of raw history, both stirring and engrossing." -- Book jacket.
