This is the setting of \u003ci\u003eThe Paris Game\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ray Argyle (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":43115659886752,"sku":"9781459722866","price":15.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/BNCImageAPI_83c8aa05-1071-4a45-9c4d-f5162222350d.jpg?v=1739599102","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9781459722866","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
