de gaulle is not at that level yet. de gaulle is furious. churchill snubs him. before potsdam, churchill went inside france. neither on the way there nor on the way back to paris did churchill meet with de gaulle. there were intentional snubs aimed at him. de gaulle will get his revenge, but it will be a few years in the making. jason: he is thinking about it the whole time. mike: no doubt. jason: i just want to close with one question that has been posed. it is not exactly a small one, but maybe you can say briefly about it. is there any unity among the leaders of the u.s., britain, and the soviet union about the colonial issue, at potsdam? is there anything they can come together on with respect to, here we are, another world war has been fought, is there anything that they can agree on about what to do about that coming out of potsdam? mike: maybe my brain has been conditioned by the de gaulle question, but the one thing they agree on is the french empire in asia is done. indochina, that is done. it is not going to go back to france. there is some backpedalin

all of this fed into french discontent of this compared to the french young towards this old man de gaulle who is ruling them as one of the people interviewed said as if france it was as if france was salazar's portugal sellers are the kind of fascist ruler of a very catholic portugal they had a degree of fascism and. well you know i think that only authoritarian authoritarianism be a threat. and so erupts without a clear agenda i mean there's a point in the book where. you're interviewing workers and they take over a factory and nobody knows what their demands are. you talk about 3 different types of movements in the may uprising because we do see unlike in the united states i would call it worker solidarity because you make it very clear from the interviews in the books that there was a huge disconnect and even animosity between the student leadership the student movement and the working class and yet nevertheless workers do it paralyze france. to talk about those 3 different strains within the uprising. first 1st and foremost there was the student movement we just discussed them and the

we have a viewer who wanted to know about charles de gaulle. the big three are there and they're going to decide the americans and soviets and other countries are going to have to accept that fact. how does he respond to this new thing being proposed? >> he ain't happy. he's excluded on those grounds. he's excluded because truman and churchill had enough of him. truman makes a comment which i happen to come across by accident in the library when i was looking through papers when he says if i want to talk to de gaulle i would send for him. the notion is they're not sure what they want to do with france yet. do we treat france as a liberated country or treat it as an occupied countried the way we might treat italy. the first time americans go into combat it's against french troops. what to we want to do? it's a very different kind of france and represents a different kind of france. the united states has a more or less have determined by this point that it didn't have a choice. he just not at that level yet. he's furious and churchill snubs him.
