The Renewal by Charles de Gaulle
Just before he died General de Gaulle published in Paris the last volume of his memoirs, covering the period 1958-1962. General Andre Beaufre , who was French Army Commander at Suez, talks about de Gaulle, statesman and historian, as he reveals himself during these early years of his return to power in France.

' It is a book of passion: passion for France conceived as a living person, passion for the outstanding mission devoted to General de Gaulle by a decree of Providence, passion for the ideas and principles which were to inspire his action.'
