Edge of the Sword

Paris, 1944.

"Don't ask me who's influenced me. A lion is made up of the lambs he's digested, and I've been reading all my life."

"How can anyone govern a nation that has 246 different kinds of cheese?"

- Charles de Gaulle [1890-1970] wrote the now out of print The Edge of the Sword in 1931; a used English translation copy is available for $1853
