Los últimos titanes. Churchill y De Gaulle

The war forced Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle to work together. They embodied Britain and France's resilience in the face of a threat that jeopardized their countries' very survival, and their eventual victory over Hitler ensured their achievements would never be forgotten. But, as "The Last Titans: Churchill and De Gaulle" shows, this is only part of a complex story, as both men influenced their countries and the world around them long after the war's end. Written with extraordinary narrative skill by Wolfson Prize-winning historian Richard Vinen, this book explores what made these men exceptional and how they were profoundly shaped by their national cultures. Beyond personal interest, the book raises a broader point: that both Britain and France are still haunted today by the perception of past greatness. Vinen traces the paths of two leaders who once ruled superpowers but lived to see their nations weakened by two world wars and the loss of their empires.
