Author Paige Bowers will give a book talk on her recently released book, The General's Niece: The Little-Known de Gaulle Who Fought to Free Occupied France.

Countless biographies have been written about Charles de Gaulle, the legendary general and former president of France. But few people know that his niece Geneviève was just as heroic as he was during World War II, and then a formidable public figure in her own right. The General’s Niece brings Geneviève out from her uncle’s considerable shadow, illustrating how her wartime experiences informed her future service to the people of postwar France. The author will read from the book, answer questions, and be available for book signing. Books will be available for purchase.
