A true labor of historian, documented, without bias and well written. Finally a work of synthesis that shows all the nuances, sensitivities, internal conflicts as resistance or rather the French resistance (not capitalized obviously when you have a little bit, the knowledge of the French language and the concern for respect). Reading this book compels admiration for the work that the author had to provide. If the critics are always possible (and obviously allowed!) You need to have done nothing useful in her life to have the indecency to make plans to trial the author of such work, as can be read here or there. So when he is accused of not saying that patriotism was a primary motivation for the resistance: "The creation of the movements [of resistance] [...] does not result from a strategic calculation [...] but founded on a moral approach where patriotism played a critical role. "; Since I quote, is that he wrote (page 88). Just a bit of openness to be able to imagine that other motives, besides, were counted. Thank you again to Mr Wieviorka to show through this book, as everything has relied in the past, the French resistance was not uniform.
