Title : War Memoirs The Call 1940 1942 - General de Gaulle - book

Summary :

In 1939, when war broke out, a colonel had already been proclaiming in the desert for five years that it was already lost. The French army was too heavy, too weak in its offensive capabilities, its tanks were unsuited to the firepower of Nazi Germany: blinded by the trauma of 1914-18, France was heading for defeat.
Urgently called to high ministerial responsibilities, de Gaulle witnessed the debacle, despite some personal feats of arms, in the East. Soon the government fled to Bordeaux, and the armistice was signed. An unbearable cowardice, unacceptable for a man who had always had "a certain idea of ​​France": he flew to London. While others accommodated themselves to Vichy, the General resounded from England with the voice of an irreducible, free, and standing France: the voice of eternal France.
