Died in his library at Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises
That's a fascinating glimpse of deGaulle. For the sake of France, however, it's just as well he never became a librarian. He was needed as a political leader.
Thanks, Kathleen. I like to be reminded that our love of books and libraries was shared by history's giants and includes us in the drama of empires.
Invaluable and beautiful insights into De Gaulle
