My second choice is Maréchal, me voilà! by François Mitterand. In his unusually candid autobiography, the man who was to become President of France ruefully admits that if he had known how the Second World War was going to turn out, he would probably have chosen the other side. In a delightful postscript he writes that he now regrets lumbering the French taxpayer with the cost of running two households.

And your second choice, Barnaby?

“HEY! YOU!” barked a frantic and unfamiliar fellow in a frumpled collared shirt who barged into Daniel’s cramped little office.
