Revolution - Softcover

"Emmanuel Macron has stood up for liberal values. He put forward a vision for the important role that France plays in Europe and around the world. And he is committed to a better future for the French people. He appeals to people's hopes and not their fears."
--President Barack Obama

"Macron has been an object of fascination ever since he unexpectedly came to power. In this political autobiography, he recounts his origins and explains his centrist philosophy."
--New York Times

"A book that should be read by anybody who wants to understand what has been going on in French politics in the past few years."
--Andrew Hussey, The Observer

"In his book Revolution...President Macron has set out a clear vision for the revitalisation of the EU."
--Brendan Simms, New Statesman

"Now that he is president, now that he has shown that he can translate the ephemera of ideas into cold, hard power, it is worth returning to his words to find out what kind of leader he plans to be...Revolution provides some insight into a man who, whatever you think of him, is deeply unusual."
--The Sunday Telegraph

"Provides a glimpse into the heart and mind of a leadership candidate whose love for France is revealed through his visions of a nation where freedoms are more closely tied to responsibilities, and where a new system of laws and regulations replaces those he believes belong to the 19th century."
--Winnipeg Free Press

Emmanuel Macron was born in Amiens on 21 December 1977. After graduating from the École nationale d'administration in 2004, he worked as an inspector of finances in the Inspectorate General of Finances, and then became an investment banker at Rothschild & Co. Macron was appointed Minister of Economy, Industry and Digital Affairs in François Hollande's government in 2014, and resigned in August 2016 to launch his En Marche political party as part of his candidacy for the 2017 presidential election. He won the election on 7 May 2017 with 66 per cent of the vote, defeating the candidate of the National Front, Marine Le Pen. His party, La République En Marche, won an outright majority at the legislative elections in June 2017.
