Mitterrand, the End of the Cold War, and German Unification
by Frédéric Bozo
This is a terrific book which changed our understanding of the French role in unification. It shows that Mitterrand, unlike Thatcher, very quickly realised that the smart move for France would be to get in front of the German unification process, support Helmut Kohl and to see what he could get for France.
