An exceptional account that reveals what diplomacy is all about, written by a diplomat who for forty years firmly carried France's voice, sometimes in hostile environments. His latest positions, in Russia and China, he could analyze more clearly the troubled times the world is now facing.

Foreword by former French President François Hollande.

These memoirs offer a rare account of French diplomacy over the last half-century, by a committed diplomat who served in the cabinets of Michel Rocard, Bernard Kouchner and Lionel Jospin, before becoming an ambassador to Russia and then China, at the epicenter of the current crises. Written in a lively style, this book gives us an exceptional point of view of insights into political decision-making. Here we learn more about the conduct of recent major negotiations, in which the author had a key position, while also providing vivid portraits of many of his contemporaries, including Bill Clinton, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.
