Interesting

This is an interesting book on France's current president- Chirac. As he now runs against Le Pen, we must listen to his words with renewed concern. Chirac may have a shady past, but so is the history of French politics from Danton on down to Boulanger. And at least Chirac is more moderate than Le Pen and Robespierre. 'Camarades,' Chirac says, 'Camarades, compatriotes, we must vote for us all, for La France'. This book is interesting in that is gives us an understading of Chirac's persona, policies, and the great challenges he faces today. It is just slightly outdated, for since its release hints of scandal have arisen in Chirac's tenure as president.'Camarades,' Chirac says- and although he may lack the fiery stage presence of Le Pen, his cool and measured tone bespeaks of a more Gaullist nature.
