About This Item
The United States wanted to control France after WW2. Charles DeGaulle, charismatic leader of the Free French movement in London appeared too strong and independent for FDR's preference in this regard. Hence. FDR tried to torpedo DeGaulle's plan to lead France after the war, and replace him with a puppet regime. DeGaulle thwarted this strategy, but never forgave the Americans for trying to dump him. This is the history of his strained relationship with successive US Presidents, as DeGaulle rose to power in 1958 as President of France, and afterwards.

About The Rare French Obook Collection
This is a collection of French curated books purchased in Paris over a period of several years. Most are still in mint condition, some in original shrinkwrap, and never opened. The latter are mainly duplicates that i purchased in a neurotic intellectual frenzy, lol. They run the gamut from French history, both modern and 18th, 19th , 20th centuries; to literature, both modern and classic. The owner is a fluent French speaker; an American who has spend many years in France, honing his knowledge of the culture and language.
