â€œA thorough, splendid account of the great political dramatist, the very conscious creator of his own legend. . . . Balanced, indispensable.â€ â€•Fritz Stern, Foreign Affairs
The second volume of Jean Lacoutureâ€™s acclaimed biography of Charles de Gaulle opens with the creation of the Fourth Republic in the aftermath of World War II and with the election of de Gaulleâ€•the voice of Free France, the savior of the nation in warâ€•as president of France. But the internal contradictions of the new constitution soon forced de Gaulle to resign, leaving France to a succession of short-lived and generally ineffective coalition governments. In 1958, with the outbreak of the bitter colonial war in Algeria, destiny beckoned again. De Gaulle offered himself as a mediator and in short order became president of the Council of Ministers, then president of the Firth Republic.
