Episode 111: How Charles De Gaulle Survived a CIA Coup (Part 1)


Listen Later

It's a Sean led episode so we're talking about French President Charles De Gaulle (1890-1970) and how he survived a CIA backed coup in 1961. In this part 1 we give a bit of background information on the French colonization of Algeria and why De Gaulle's attempts to end that war made people angry enough to try to kill him 30 times. We also look at lessons JFK could have taken from De Gaulle that might've helped him to survive his own assassination. We finish with part 2 on the Patreon.

Most of the research for this episode comes from the Devil's Chessboard by David Talbot. The relevant chapters are excerpted here:
