For his own biography, Mauroy chose the most unassuming title "Memoirs," but it reveals all sides of his talent: an ironic mind, a light pen, bottomless knowledge and keen observation. Sharing with the reader the richest life experience, the author introduces him to outstanding people of the era. On the pages of memoirs - de Gaulle and Clemenceau, Roosevelt and Churchill, Kipling and Saint-Exupery, Cocteau and Moriac.
