Used book – The True Story of DSK, Michel Taubmann

DSK: for more than twenty years, these initials were synonymous with success and competence. Head of the IMF since 2007, Dominique Strauss-Kahn had become the most influential Frenchman in the world. Everything collapsed in an instant, on May 14, 2011. Accused of attempted rape, handcuffed, looking haggard, he was paraded in front of cameras around the world. Once again, he stumbled at the final hurdle. Since that day, the spotlight has been shone on his private life. But who is this man who has constantly skirted the precipice? His chaotic life has been punctuated by trials: a childhood in Agadir interrupted by an earthquake, a brilliant but depressed father, electoral defeats, a resignation under judicial pressure when he was Minister of Finance, three divorces. Based on more than 120 testimonies and four years of investigation, Michel Taubmann's largely enriched and updated book contains DSK's exclusive confessions on the Sofitel affair, his arrest, and his detention. It also provides astonishing revelations about the sex scandals that may have changed the destiny of France.
