Resistance leader, Gaullist minister and encyclopaedic writer about art, Andre Malraux is still controversial 16 years after his death. Some call him a thief, a liar, a myth maker and a turncoat.
Others see him as almost a secular saint.
Richard Mayne explores Malraux's contradictions with contributions from friends, family, admirers and critics.
