Giraud and the African Scene is a non-fiction book written by G. Ward Price, first published in 1944. The book is a memoir of Price's travels through French West Africa during World War II, where he met and interviewed General Henri Giraud, a French general who had escaped from German captivity and was leading the Free French forces in Africa.The book provides a detailed account of the political and social climate in French West Africa during the war, as well as the challenges faced by the Free French forces in their fight against the Axis powers. It also offers insights into the character and leadership style of Giraud, who was a controversial figure in the Free French movement.Price's narrative is engaging and informative, and he provides vivid descriptions of the people, places, and events he encountered on his travels. The book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a little-known aspect of World War II, and it is recommended for anyone interested in military history, African history, or the Free French movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
