...grandeur that is Gaullism has always defied simple explanation, for it often seems that Charles de Gaulle, like the Cabots, speaks only to God. In a witty new book, The Gaullists-Ritual and Directory, French Journalist Pierre Viansson-Ponté, chief political correspondent for prestigious Le Monde, pokes skillfully at the inner Gaullist mysteries.
