General Charles de Gaulle navigates the parallel struggles of unifying a divided French Resistance, outmanoeuvring political rivals, and asserting France's sovereignty to Allied leaders ahead of the nation's liberation.
Operating from Algiers and London, de Gaulle works tirelessly to unite a fractured domestic Resistance while navigating fierce, hostile friction with US President Franklin D.
