"De Gaulle: The Ruler" opens w/ the creation of the Fourth Republic in the aftermath of World War II & w/ the election of de Gaulle, the voice of Free France, the savior of the nation in war, as president of France. But the internal contradictions of the new constitution soon forced de Gaulle to resign, thus beginning his 12 years in the wilderness & leaving France to a succession of short-lived & generally ineffective coalition governments. In 1958, w/ the outbreak of the bitter colonial war in Algeria, destiny beckoned again. De Gaulle offered himself as the mediator & in short order became president of the Council of Ministers, then president of the Fifth Republic. Lacouture's SUPERB biography is particularly successful in ENLIVENING & CLARIFYING the political complexities of postwar France & in describing the sure, almost monarchical sense of authority that de Gaulle had sought as a rebel & exercised as a ruler. Other dramatic high points of the narrative include the withdrawal from NATO in 1966, the confrontation w/ students on the barricades in 1968, & the many attempts on his life. Through such crises, de Gaulle the war hero became the central figure in French political life, a position, it may be argued, that he held long after his withdrawal from politics. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "This book is a feast, ROBUST SUBTLE, JOYFUL, COMPLEX, a celebration to be savored." - Stephen E.
