A Certain Idea of France: The Life of Charles de Gaulle by Julian T. JacksonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A complicated man who was the right person at the right time for France. If not for him, there would have been no government in exile during the war, and therefore no continuity, which probably would have meant no permanent seat for France at the UN.
His prescience for certain matters was astounding, as were his misses in certain other ones.
All in all an extremely fascinating read about an extremely fascinating man.
