Les Presses Universitaires de France and Frémeaux & Associés present this biography of François Mitterrand, written by Judith Bonnin, a specialist in political history and the history of international relations, and Pierre-Emmanuel Guigo, a specialist in the history of political communication and the history of the media in the contemporary era. François Mitterrand, an iconic figure of the Fifth Republic, left a lasting mark on France. This biography, presented by historians Judith Bonnin and Pierre-Emmanuel Guigo, explores the many facets of this complex man: his political rise, his controversial choices, his passions, and his contradictions, revealing the man behind the president in a rich and nuanced biography.

The authors draw on the abundant existing literature as well as unpublished archives to recount the life and political actions of the man who was twelve times minister under the Fourth Republic, deputy, main opponent of de Gaulle, first secretary of the Socialist Party, and president for fourteen years. Through precise and well-documented analysis, this audiobook reveals the behind-the-scenes story of a life dedicated to power and the transformation of French society. Claude Colombini Frémeaux
