So Mitterrand then
He was kicking at a rotten door with the Communists. The PCF was about to spiral into decline hugely: miserable, inflexible dogmatic leadership, weirdly reactionary social policies (such as opposing abortion), and the "we were the Resistance, you know" line either being no longer effective or losing its allure once the real wartime records of some people came under scrutiny.

It does cover that, but superficially because of the length of the book. Mitterrand sent out diplomats straightaway to reassure America. Don't know if America made him do anything he didn't want to. He's a cunning sod who sucked the Communists in and didn't give them much.
