Charles de Gaulle

The University Press of France and Fremeaux & Associes present this biography of Charles de Gaulle, analyzed and explained by historian Bernard Phan, professor at Lycee Henri IV. This biography traces the exceptional trajectory of a man emblematic of French history in the 20th century, Charles de Gaulle. A talented speaker and an accomplished historian, Bernard Phan delivers with intimacy while using cross references from those who observed and wrote about de Gaulle. The observations of the officers who trained de Gaulle at Saint-Cyr, the words of his family, his supporters, and his detractors, show a man who has always had a certain vision of France.
