«La défaite en chantant», political essay by Claude Allègre and Dominique de Montvalon. Plon, 2007, paperback, 218 pp. in French.
The book emerges from the dialogue between Claude Allègre, a witness to French politics, and the journalist Dominique de Montvalon. It traces the crisis of socialism and the events that brought Sarkozy to the presidency in 2007, with portraits and anecdotes about Jospin, Chirac, Hollande and Royal.
The work is a co-publication of Plon and Fayard; the entry adds the subtitle «le socialisme a-t-il encore un sens?».
For readers interested in contemporary French politics, electoral campaigns and the recent history of the Fifth Republic.
