-
Charles de Gaulle was determined that
-
the France of the Fourth Republic was to be built
-
around his large body, and part of that was to try to
-
convince people in France and abroad that
-
the Gaullists were the only resistors and
-
that they had heard the crackle of his voice,
-
imposing voice, across the airwaves
-
on June 18th, 1940.
-
Now, what can we say now?
-
First of all, that the communists were arguably
-
the most important or most
-
effective resistors during the period.
