Summary

Roger Casement's revolutionary fire was lit in the Congo where he saw at first hand some of the worst abuses of the colonial project. The fire burned hotter in Brazil, where he gradually became convinced that exploitation and abuse were inextricably linked with the exercise of imperial power.

De Gaulle (Life & Times series) Summary

De Gaulle (Life & Times series) by Julian Jackson

Charles de Gaulle, saviour of France's honour in 1940 and founder of the Fifth Republic in 1958, was a man of contradictions. He is a conservative who brought the communists into his government and an imperialist who completed France's decolonisation in Algeria.

De Gaulle (Life & Times series) Reviews

'distinguished book' -- Andrew Roberts Sunday Telegraph 'Jackson tells this epic story with skill and understanding. His smartly produced book presents an admirably rounded portrait of its enigmatic subject, using telling quotations to probe a man who contained as many contradictions as the country with which he so thoroughly identified.' -- Jonathan Fenby BBC History Magazine
