Charles de GaulleAuthor(s): Andrew Knapp\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138839199, 978-1138839199\nSynopsis\nIn this new biography, Andrew Knapp concisely dissects each of the major controversies surrounding General Charles de Gaulle, leader of the Free French during the Second World War and President of France from 1959 to 1969.\n\nFrom the beginning of de Gaulles military career in 1909 to an analysis of legacies and myths after his death in 1970, this study examines the path by which the French came to honour him as the greatest Frenchman of all time, and as the twentieth centurys pre-eminent world statesman. In each chapter, Knapp analyses de Gaulles participation in key events such as the development of Frances resistance against Nazi Germany, the decolonisation of Algeria, the birth of the French Fifth Republic, and the gigantic upheaval of May 1968. Simultaneously, this study questions de Gaulles action.
