He emerged from nowhere to seize the presidency, defeat populism and upend French party politics. A year on, Sophie Pedder asks who is Emmanuel Macron and how far can he really change France?
In Revolution Française, Sophie Pedder examines the first year in office of France’s youngest and most exciting president in modern times. President Emmanuel Macron’s vision for France is far more radical than many realise. His remarkable ascent from obscurity to the presidency is both a dramatic story of personal ambition and the tale of a wounded once-proud country in deep need of renewal.
This book chronicles Macron’s remarkable rise from independent outsider to the Élysée Palace, situating the achievement in a broader context: France’s slide into self-doubt, political gridlock and a seeming reluctance to embrace change; the roots of populism and discontent; the fractures caused by globalisation and the Le Pen factor.
