EVENT DETAILS

In June 1940, General Charles de Gaulle showed that sublime heroism was possible even during the chaos surrounding the Fall of France. Andrew Roberts discusses de Gaulle’s leadership, showing how his response to that catastrophe was always admired by Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt, even while they clashed with his rebarbative personality.

Andrew Roberts is the award-winning author and editor of 12 books, including Masters and Commanders: How Four Titans Won the War in the West, 1941–1945 and Napoleon: A Life.
