This book allowed me to discover a very important figure in French history. The book is very well written and very interesting, I immediately plunged into and exciting story of Pierre Mendes-France. I never suspected that he had a life well lived and fraught with pitfalls. Jean-Denis Bredin allowed me to interest me much more character thanks to its beautiful and smooth writing me to let go empéché the book, I read it in one gulp. I highly recommend this book if you do not know Mendes-France or if you are interested in the terrible period of the 2nd World War, seen from the inside by a character who was part of the French Parliament of the Third Republic and who, overnight, found himself in danger because of religious affiliation.
