At a crucial moment in the Second World War, an obscure French general reaches a fateful personal decision: to fight on alone after his government's flight from Paris and its capitulation to Nazi Germany. Amid the ravages of a world war, three men - a general, a president, and a prime minister - are locked in a rivalry that threatens their partnership and puts the world'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 country'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.
18 namhafte Historiker und Historikerinnen beleuchten erstmals das Verhaltnis Willy Brandts zu Frankreich seit seinen ersten Besuchen in Paris in den 1930er Jahren bis zu seinem Tod. Dies geschieht im Wechsel zwischen franzosischer und deutscher Perspektive, ein methodischer Ansatz, der sich als ausserst fruchtbar erweist."
