*Avec de Gaulle* is a French-language historical volume gathering testimony and documentary material connected with Charles de Gaulle and the institutions devoted to preserving his legacy. Centered on the Second World War and the Liberation, it presents reflections from friends, associates, witnesses, and public figures who observed de Gaulle’s role in the Free French movement, the wartime struggle, and the political rebuilding that followed. The work functions as a source-oriented contribution to modern French history, useful for readers interested in how personal memory and institutional history shape the understanding of a major statesman. As the opening volume in the *Avec de Gaulle* series, it emphasizes testimony, political leadership, and the transition from wartime crisis to postwar reconstruction.
