The complete war memoirs of the resistance leader Charles de Gaulle, who led France out of its darkest hour during the Nazi occupation during World War II.
βFaced with the political disaster, I had to become France.β This was how Charles de Gaulle answered the call of history. One of the few French battlefield leaders to have distinguished himself in May 1940, he had become the undersecretary of state for national defense. But when the government rejected his calls to fight on and prepared to capitulate to Hitler, he escaped to London. There he instigated a resistance calling on βall the French who want to remain free to listen to me and follow meβ in the legendary radio address of June 22. He was sentenced to death in absentia as his country made a disgraceful peace, but his Free France movement rallied people around the world to resist German occupation and fight for the liberation of Europe.
Originally published in three volumes, The War Memoirs of Charles de Gaulle is the story of the resurrection of France from its darkest hour collaborating with Hitler and the Nazi empire. The first section, βThe Call,β examines the years leading up to Franceβs defeat and the confusion and despair triggered by Hitlerβs blitzkrieg. The second section, βUnity,β describes de Gaulleβs struggles to rally the French in both Africa and underground movements throughout Europe, and often bitter conflicts with the Allied leaders as he sought legitimacy and resources. βSalvation,β the final installment, chronicles the turning of the tide of war against Nazi Germany, de Gaulleβs triumphant return to France, and the reincarnation of the French Republic as a major international presence. De Gaulleβs great prophecy of 1940 had been fulfilled: France had lost a battle, but she did not lose the war.
