Sat 11 Nov 2009Candour from Chirac, except about alleged corruption
WITH HIS successor smarting from poor mid-term opinion polls and fighting to reassert himself after a series of setbacks, former president Jacques Chirac returned this week to the national stage he bestrode for three decades with the publication of the first volume of his keenly awaited memoirs.
Chronicling his life from his childhood years in Corrèze in south central France to his election as president in 1995, the book covers Chirac’s rise to power, his periods as prime minister, and his time as mayor of Paris between 1977 and 1995.
