A Fine first edition/first printing housed in a barely shelfworn alike dust-jacket. There is a traditional Simon and Schuster mark on the bottom page edge; In his memoir, Getting to Know the General, Graham Greene recounts the story of his involvement with General de Gaulle from 1940 until the general's death in 1970. Greene was a young journalist in 1940 when he first meets de Gaulle and is immediately drawn to the charismatic leader. Greene follows de Gaulle as he leads France through World War II, and then watches as the general becomes a symbol of resistance against the French government during the years of the French Revolution. Greene captures the essence of de Gaulle's personality in this book, and his story is a fascinating look at the life of a great military leader.; Remainder; 8vo; 249 pages; 15.
