Two titles that at least are in your ballpark:
Challenging De Gaulle: The O.A.S. and the Counterrevolution in Algeria, 1954-1962, by Alexander Harrison; Praeger, 1989. Warning: Introduction by William Colby.
Target de Gaulle: The True Story of the 31 Attempts on the Life of the French President, by Pierre Demaret and Christian Plume; The Dial Press, 1973.
In re the latter: For those of us who understand the first "terrible sound" in Dealey Plaza as a means to sow confusion and what I've termed "cognitive dissonance" within the perceptions of witnesses, the following passage is appreciated:
Writing of the November, 1958 attack on de Gaulle in the Rue de Rome by elements of Jeune Nation, the authors note, "The idea was to create panic among the crowd by setting of thunderflashes and powerful smoke-bombs giving off vast quantities of smoke. In the confusion the party would rush the general's open car and assassinate him."
In addition, there is at least one chapter's worth of de Gaulle/Kennedy analysis.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
