This book, I read by chance I came across a damaged original edition which was used to wedge a piece of furniture in the holiday house of my in-laws (shame on them :)) ... and I do not even know not the author (shame on me) ...
Barjavel shows important events in the history of the 60s, and rewrote the script so that everything falls into his story. And it damn works!
We meet De Gaulle, Nixon, Kennedy ... in short, all the best center forwards Bayern in this story without dead time on a fantastic background. The style is fluid, without taking cabbage, and events are enquillent into each other in a carefully orchestrated suspense.
I did not put this book under his cabinet.
Nice find, a very good read.
