François Hollande: The Reluctant Hero
By Julien Peltier
He was the “normal president” in extraordinary times.
François Hollande rose to power promising calm, compromise, and stability. Instead, he found himself tested by terror attacks, economic stagnation, and a nation divided by doubt.
From the flicker of unity in the aftermath of tragedy to the crushing weight of disillusion, Julien Peltier paints a vivid portrait of a leader caught between duty and destiny. With rare intimacy and sharp irony, this biography reveals the man behind the hesitant smile: modest yet ambitious, ironic yet sincere, ordinary yet thrust into history’s harshest spotlight.
Why did France turn away from him? What lessons can be drawn from a presidency defined as much by silence as by action? And how does a man who reached the highest office in the Republic live once power slips away?
For readers of political history, French culture, and modern leadership, François Hollande: The Reluctant Hero is a gripping chapter in the epic saga of the Fifth Republic — at once somber, ironic, and profoundly human.
Perfect for fans of Robert Harris, Julian Jackson, and contemporary political biographies.
