The writer pays attention to both the political and the personal life of the General and we end up getting a good feel of the complex character of De Gaulle. Whether De Gaulle is in fact the Last Great Frenchman is of course open to debate and one's own political persuasion. What becomes clear from this biography is the strong conviction and towering personality of the man.
I must note that I would have given this book a four star rating were it not for the unnecessary comments of the writer about the Catholic background of the General and his Jesuit schooling. These comments serve more to reflect an anti-Catholic bias of the writer rather than to clarify the General's actions.
