Contents Preface -- Charles de Gaulle. "The crossing of the desert" -- Juan Peron. "We need to get the workers to come here, right away" -- Pierre Elliott Trudeau. "Reason above passion" -- Conclusion
Summary Charles de Gaulle of France, Juan Per̤n of Argentina, and Pierre Elliott Trudeau of Canada all achieved the pinnacle of political power, fell from or relinquished power, and then, after a period in the political wilderness, regained their power. By placing greater emphasis than that customarily accorded by biographers on the interment that followed their fall and preceded their resurrection, Derfler describes what they did, the lessons they learned, and the mistakes made by their successors that facilitated their reentry
