“An Ambassador under the Tunisian Revolution” by Pierre Ménat, Editions Pepper.
The previous Ambassador of France to The Netherlands, known in The Hague for his commitment to diplomacy, his professionalism and his know-how, Pierre Ménat just published a book. And what a book it is!
One could call it a historic document as it relates his experience of living in Tunisia as the Ambassador of France while the country was in full revolution. “An Ambassador under the Tunisian Revolution” is a highly anticipated book. It is not only the testimony of Pierre Ménat, Ambassador of France in Tunisia at the time of the revolution that ended the Ben Ali regime in 2011. It is also a great analysis of the profession of ambassador: the responsibilities and commitments, the projects of cooperation, the media and political games.
Pierre Ménat, who was recalled to Paris shortly after January 14, 2011, waited five years before writing “An Ambassador under the Tunisian Revolution” because of the discretion his position demanded. Now that he is free to speak, he gives us a first-hand confession of his experiences on the frontline with a careful analysis of the events that occurred after his arrival in Tunisia in 2009 and the democratic transition of the country up today.
