We discover in this book that Mitterrand is a miracle. Normally he should disappear by 1984, 3 years maximum after the discovery of his cancer, "one of the murderers'. Now he 'held' 14 years, which made him according to Michel Gonod a case probably unique in the world '. The book is undoubtedly a tragic side, the struggle of a man against a terrible and cruel disease with the use of therapies sometimes 'unorthodox' such as those of Dr. Beljansky but it also has a side somewhat dishonest, the Dr Gubler betrayed in this book medical confidentiality on which are based all patients. However one enters this book in the heart of presidential power by discovering the complicated relationship with his entourage of President because of this obsession to hide the evil which he suffered. We also discover the man Mitterrand and his courage, his dignity in the face of disease but also the severe limitation that has been set to its action especially towards the end. After reading this book 'many things are explained' to say when asked about the two seven of 1981-1995. To read if you want to understand those years.
