De Gaulle as memorialist: war story and narrative war

About De Gaulle as memorialist: war story and narrative war

Invited during the war by Admiral Sir Percy Noble to the operations room in Liverpool, General de Gaulle could only observe the numerically small part played by French forces in the vast military and communications undertaking led by the Allies. How could he make up for the initial deficit (“In France, there was no support and no reputation. Abroad, neither credit nor justification”) in terms of driving force, if not through the power of words? Memoirs can be a weapon: the one whose future lasts the longest.

This conference with Pr. Jean-Louis Jeannelle (Sorbonne University) is organised in collaboration with the department of Higher education and Research from the French Embassy in the United Kingdom.
