Features: To commemorate the 60th anniversary of World War II victory and celebrate the "China-France Cultural Year," China Renmin University Press proudly presents the de Gaulle Series: In Memoirs of Hope, General de Gaulle writes in simple language, recording events without commentary. Although it lacks the passion of War Memories, the words are filled with deep affection for France. At this time, de Gaulle had realized that his mission was complete, as he said, "I have been driving this small boat through the turbulent waves. After this, I finally think I can sail on calm seas for a while." Memoirs of Hope was written by General de Gaulle after his political retirement in 1969 and is divided into two volumes (the third volume was not completed by General de Gaulle): Reconstruction (1958–1962) and Efforts (1962–). Memoirs of Hope records the various efforts made by General de Gaulle since 1958 to restore France. The book provides a detailed introduction to the situation in France during de Gaulle's administration from multiple perspectives, including economy, politics, international relations, overseas territories, and heads of state, and deeply explores the reasons for the difficulties France faced at the time, revealing the laws governing various aspects of the state. The book is written in the first person, not only providing rich and detailed information but also containing strong personal emotions that deeply move the reader.
