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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dundurn Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176173814000,"sku":"9781459722880","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781459722880_p0.jpg?v=1763869872","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781459722880","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
