I am joined by French political and historical analyst Leo Caesaris to discuss the alliance in the 20th century between the French Charles de Gaulle government (1959 - 1969) and South Africa. We touch on France's role in nuclear technology projects in SA such as the Koeberg nuclear reactor, South Africa's atomic weapons program, military technology such as the Eland armoured car, geopolitical positioning, and more.
