Examines issues of consensus and continuity of French defense during the long political career of Francois Mitterand, a critic of president Charles de Gaulle in the 1960s who assumed the Gaullist presidential mantle in the 1980s. Argues that, despite assertions to the contrary, neither consensus nor continuity was as solid as commentators suggested. Shows that consensus lacked substance and scope under Mitterand's presidency, while arguments of continuity often disguised politically unpalatable change. Utley is a research fellow in history at the University of Leeds. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
