From one of America's longest-serving foreign correspondents, a biography of France's controversial politician and statesman. The first major biography of Charles de Gaulle written from an American perspective, this book offers a compelling assessment of the French army officer, politician, and statesman. Author Don Cook, former bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times, delineates de Gaulle's obsession with power and how the military man rose to leadership in the years following the fall of France during the Second World War. Recounting de Gaulle's triumphant quest to find dignity and independence for France, Cook masterfully brings to life one of Europe's most influential leaders of the twentieth century.

Don Cook (1920-1995) was one of the longest-serving American foreign correspondents to cover Europe during the last century. His career began in 1943, as the tide turned in World War II, and ended as the Berlin Wall came down. Across four decades, Cook covered most major events in Europe, writing for the New York Herald Tribune for twenty-one years, and then the Los Angeles Times for twenty-three years more. In that span, he wrote several history books and contributed to publications including the Saturday Evening Post. Cook passed away in Philadelphia in 1995.
