Allied
victory
is
the
first
objective
-of
the
French
National
Committee,
but
Gen.
Charles
de
Gaulle
and
eight
able
men
who
help
manage
a
chain
of
colonies
strung
around
the
globe
also
face
the
problem
of
"getting
France
back
into
the
fight."
To
the
Free
French
leader
and
the
hand-picked
group
who
form

power,
to
be
returned
to
the
French
people
after
the

of
Frenchmen
