| book description |

At a crucial moment in the Second World War, an obscure French general reaches a fateful personal decision: to fight on alone after his governmentâ€™s flight from Paris and its capitulation to Nazi Germany. Amid the ravages of a world war, three men â€” a general, a president, and a prime minister â€” are locked in a rivalry that threatens their partnership and puts the worldâ€™s most celebrated city at risk of destruction before it can be liberated. This is the setting of The Paris Game, a dramatic recounting of how an obscure French general under sentence of death by his government launches on the most enormous gamble of his life: to fight on alone after his countryâ€™s capitulation to Nazi Germany. In a game of intrigue and double-dealing, Charles de Gaulle must struggle to retain the loyalty of Winston Churchill against the unforgiving opposition of Franklin Roosevelt and the traitorous manoeuvring of a collaborationist Vichy France. How he succeeds in restoring the honour of France and securing its place as a world power is the stuff of raw history, both stirring and engrossing.
