Very good condition. Minor shelf wear and dust dulling. Minor edge wear to dust jackets. Vol.1 inscribed by Charles De Gaulle to General Sir Alan Brooke. Vol.2 signed and dated by Charles De Gaulle. Provenance: From the Library of Sir Alan Francis Brook, Field Marshal Alanbrooke, 1st Viscount Alanbrooke.

In 1958, he came out of retirement when appointed Prime Minister of France by President René Coty. He was asked to rewrite the Constitution of France and founded the Fifth Republic after approval by referendum. He was elected President of France later that year, a position he was re-elected to in 1965 and held until his resignation in 1969. He was the dominant figure of France during the Cold War era, and his memory continues to influence French politics. During the war Alanbrooke's admiration for General de Gaulle was restrained . Brooke saw him often from August 1940 onwards and his views were uncompromising . Whatever good qualities he may have had were marred by his overbearing manner , his megalomania and lack of cooperative spirit . He is supposed to have said at that time " Je suis la France ! " (Fraser, David. Alanbrooke).…
