Joseph Kessel tells with great sincerity these resistant French like him besides, these people of the shadow fighters for the country, which in the first hours of their fight were considered terrorists by many French ... A moving work, authentic or we imagine the terrifying life Gerbier and other patriots It is noted that since the publication of this book in 1943, Jean-Pierre Melville wanted to adapt it to the screen, put a little over 26 years to realize her dream but in the end its adaptation will be as exceptional as the book.
