He was one of the founders of the TV channel Antenne 2, and its first president from January 1975 to December 1977. From the Preface: Marcel Jullian has carefully reconstructed the story of the Battle of Britain from a mass of factual evidence, from minute-to-minute accounts of the fighting, from a careful examination of Winston Churchill's three "official" crucial days: August 15, September 15 and September 27, as well as a thorough examination of three less well known days when decisions and mistakes - not combat - determined the outcome of the Battle: May 16, when Air Chief Marshal Hugh Dowding prevent the dispatch of more squadrons to France; August 24, when London was bombed in error; and September 3, when, mistakenly, the Germans decided upon the Zielwechsel, the change of target.
