Synopsis
Is one ever truly ready to face death? Can one, without faith, view death as a beginning rather than an end? The man "dying without God" is Francois Mitterrand, who was battling prostate cancer during both of his seven-year terms as President of France. Near the end, he called on a longtime friend, Franz-Olivier Giesbert, to whom he opened his mind as he had to no other person. One of the most complex personages of the century, Mitterrand offers in these pages his final, unforgettable testament.
