Résumé
--
'De Gaulle's strength lay in the fact that he always spoke directly to the French people! I tried to find out what made the General tick, but in the end it was he who understood me. He still has a grip on me, he's still there in the dark recesses of my personality, and when people see me, they think of him. My uncompromising love for France and its defence comes from that reality."We become like those we admire", as Gandhi said. 'Fifty years later, people still ask:"Did De Gaulle speak to you? Did you see him? What was your relationship ?"In these pages, I answer those questions. Certain things that are unknown to the French have been put into this book, where my confessions blend with the History of our country. Of course there are anecdotes that will raise a smile, some of them comic and moving too, I assure you. One example: De Gaulle answered his grandchildren who were miming him as I did:"Shut up, Tisot!"When he learned that my second disk had sold only 300,000 copies compared with the first which had sole a million:"Tisot is on the way out, I'll end up on my own!"Until my death, according to Maurice Druon's preface, I'll be"the man who imitated De Gaulle"and who praises"the great Charles". Coming back from Baden-Baden in the hell of May 1968, Georges Pompidou - his prime Minister - asked him:"Where are you right now, General?"De Gaulle retorted:"I am in keeping with my ulterior motives."Same goes for me. I have put my ulterior motives into these pages, whether people like them or not, especially concerning the European Union that is no longer related to the Europe envisaged by De Gaulle. In other words, I'm still following the General. And it's my greatest satisfaction! I hope France will gain as much pleasure from this book! The story of my life or a history book? You tell me.' [Henri Tisot]"
