The Trial of Charles de Gaulle
by Altred Fabre-Luce
Praeger, 270 pp., $4.95
In December, 1962, when this book was published in France under the title Haute-Cour, the government stupidly banned it on the ground that it constituted an insult to the President of the Republic. It would be too bad if official French heavy-handedness and the resentment created on this side of the Atlantic by De Gaulle's foreign policy led readers here to overlook the bias in the book and the shortcomings of the author.
