Vous êtes de Gaulle

YOU ARE CHARLES DE GAULLE REMAKING HISTORY AND CHANGE THE DESTINY OF FRANCE

In the history of the 20th century, few men have had, like Charles de Gaulle, the power to act on events, to make decisive choices for an entire nation, to personify the will of a people. Admired or contested, General de Gaulle has today entered History. This book invites you to play his role, since the day of his birth, November 22, 1890, in Lille. What will your choices be, and what will your destiny be? Will you become President of the French Republic? Will you survive the Petit-Clamart attack? Or will you decide to make other choices than those of the General, and to lead your destiny differently, through two world wars, the Liberation, the recovery of the country after war, the successive crises of decolonization and the events of May 68 ?

We are in May 1968, in fact. Wednesday the 29th, to be precise. Boulevard Saint-Michel is surrounded by barricades and the police, demoralized by almost unanimous criticism, seem overwhelmed on the ground. Many factories are occupied by strikers, housewives line up in front of grocery stores to build up stocks. The whole of France is waiting. What are you going to do ?

■ If you order the police and gendarmerie to open fire on demonstrators who refuse to disperse, refer to number 299.

■ If you prefer to wait until the situation becomes clearer, see 62.

■ If, wishing to create a state of shock in public opinion, you decide to leave Paris and disappear for twenty-four hours before announcing new political decisions, refer to 415. You are faced with the choices which posed to Charles de Gaulle this Wednesday, May 29, 1968. Will you, like him, consult General Massu, or will you make another choice? The decision is yours.
