GAULLE Charles de L.A.S., 20 September 1963, to Paul Reynaud; 1 1/2 pages in-4 with printed letterhead Le Général de Gaulle. Opinion of the General on the second volume of Paul Reynaud's memoirs. "You can have no doubt of the extreme interest I have taken in reading the second volume of your memoirs. Envers et contre tous is a work offered to history, full of ideas, nourished by facts and full of lessons. Without deluding myself that I will convince you, I would like to tell you that in my view nothing demonstrates more strongly that in 1940 France did not have a State that was one. How could the highest political value - yours - no matter what services it had first rendered and no matter what efforts it made in power during the tragedy, have mastered events under such conditions?
