Operation Resurrection was a planned military operation of the French Army in 1958 that sought to take over the capital Paris in order to force the return of French leader Charles de Gaulle to head the government. Masterminded by Gen. Jacques Massu, the operation was preceded by the "Opération Corse", where the French Army took over Corsica. The operation was canceled after French politicians immediately arranged for de Gaulle's return to power.

Famous quotes containing the words operation and/or resurrection:
“An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique and consequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.”
—Henri Bergson (1859–1941)
“For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.”
—Bible: New Testament Matthew 22:30.
