The Fifth Republic is sixty years old.
Sixty years marked by political battles, social conflicts, military interventions, and waves of terrorism. From General de Gaulle to Emmanuel Macron, the eight presidents have faced similar crises. Each addressed them in their own style, but with the same Constitution. How did they use the powers at their disposal? Former presidents and prime ministers recount for the first time how these crises are experienced "at the heart of power."
