Churchill and De Gaulle
by François Kersaudy
De Gaulle depended on Churchill’s help because he had nothing when he came to London. So there’s a mutual respect between them. But they were two very strong-willed people, so they kept having the most tumultuous rows all through the war and Kersaudy charts that. In a very serious historical way the book recounts the often volcanic relationship between the two men.
