Product Information
Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize for History A SUNDAY TIMES , THE TIMES, DAILY TELEGRAPH, NEW STATESMAN, SPECTATOR, FINANCIAL TIMES, TLS BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Masterly ... awesome reading ... an outstanding biography' Max Hastings, Sunday Times In six weeks in the early summer of 1940, France was over-run by German troops and quickly surrendered. The French government of Marshal P tain sued for peace and signed an armistice. One little-known junior French general, refusing to accept defeat, made his way to England. On 18 June he spoke to his compatriots over the BBC, urging them to rally to him in London. 'Whatever happens, the flame of French resistance must not be extinguished and will not be extinguished.' At that moment, Charles de Gaulle entered into history. For the rest of the war, de Gaulle frequently bit the hand that fed him. He insisted on being treated as the true embodiment of France, and quarrelled violently with Churchill and Roosevelt. He was prickly, stubborn, aloof and self-contained. But through sheer force of personality and bloody-mindedness he managed to have France recognised as one of the victorious Allies, occupying its own zone in defeated Germany. For ten years after 1958 he was President of France's Fifth Republic, which he created and which endures to this day. His pursuit of 'a certain idea of France' challenged American hegemony, took France out of NATO and twice vetoed British entry into the European Community. His controversial decolonization of Algeria brought France to the brink of civil war and provoked several assassination attempts. Julian Jackson's magnificent biography reveals this the life of this titanic figure as never before. It draws on a vast range of published and unpublished memoirs and documents - including the recently opened de Gaulle archives - to show how de Gaulle achieved so much during the War when his resources were so astonishingly few, and how, as President, he put a medium-rank power at the centre of world affairs. No previous biography has depicted his paradoxes so vividly. Much of French politics since his death has been about his legacy, and he remains by far the greatest French leader since Napoleon.

Reviews
Julian Jackson's biography is a worthy monument to this extraordinary figure . He has a good eye for the telling quotation and a magnificent capacity to place de Gaulle, one of the most fascinating subjects in twentieth-century politics, in his historical and political setting . The result is a wonderful history of modern France disguised as the biography of a statesman., Jackson's new biography makes awesome reading, and is a tribute to the fascination of its subject, and to Jackson's mastery of it.--Max Hastings, Sunday Times A tour de force, and by far the best biography in English to date.--Patrick Marnham, Standpoint Scholarship of the highest class ... a truly great book, for after this all other biographies can be cast aside.--Simon Heffer, Sunday Telegraph A Certain Idea of France is more than just another, bigger, biography ... he has the skill and style to maintain a dramatic narrative over nearly 800 pages of text--Robert Tombs, Spectator A Certain Idea of France is full of fascinating detail and anecdote ... It is a suitably monumental achievement.--Lewis Jones, The Times Only a great biography could do justice to such a man. This one does it, magnificently.--Noel Malcolm, Sunday Telegraph Jackson has written a biography that fully matches de Gaulle's remarkable life. ... This is too an extremely busy book, packed with anecdote, adventure and the kind of insider gossip that can only be foraged by an expert historian who is comfortable in the archives but who has eyes and ears ever alert to the telling details.--Andrew Hussey, New Statesman Compelling and painstakingly documented-- Economist With a fluent style and near-total command of existing and newly available sources, he peers behind the monolithic façade to unmask a composite of opposing traits ... crafting t he finest one-volume life of de Gaulle in English, Julian Jackson has come closer than anyone before him to demystifying this conservative at war with the status quo, for whom national interests were inseparable from personal honour and "a certain idea of France."--Richard Norton Smith, Wall Street Journal Remarkable ... To tell the life of De Gaulle is also to chart the history of modern France, and in this suitably monumental biography rich with illuminating anecdotes, Jackson portrays his subject as a complex and contradictory character--PD Smith, Guardian In this superb biography, a masterpiece of empathy as well as scholarship, Julian Jackson has probably made the best effort yet to elucidate the truth about this awkward, opaque, vindictive and messianic man. ... though erudite, incisive and painstakingly balanced, Jackson's biography is no dry-as-dust study. He writes with verve and wit.--Piers Brendon, Prospect Drawing on recently declassified presidential archives, Jackson sheds new and revealing light on the inner workings of the Gaullian executive ... exemplary--Sudhir Hazareesingh, Times Literary Supplement
