The Pompidou Dictionary, which appears this week, is a colossal and essential sum to know the person, the actions and the thoughts of the second president of the Fifth Republic. Several journalists, specialists and connoisseurs of political, economic or social life, as well as some politicians, contributed to this rigorous dictionary in its writing.

Seven hundred and thirty-one pages, 140 notes, 110 authors. From “Aérotrain” and “TGV” to “Presidential trips”, the places dear to this Auvergne are covered.
