In this pre-eminently accessible political biography, David
Bell, offers a fascinating ‘behind-the-scenes’ analysis
of the politics of François Mitterrand. Bringing together a
wealth of material, Bell explores Mitterrand’s political
leadership and the techniques he used in attaining and wielding
political power. Mitterrand’s unusual journey from right to
left, from the Third to the Fifth Republic is a story of ambition,
manipulation and ideological fluidity, which provides a lens
through which the entire political history of post-war France may
be viewed.
This engaging assessment of one man’s contribution to an era of French and European politics will appeal to anyone interested in contemporary political leadership, French politics, history and European affairs.
