As in all the books, there is here the substance and form. The background is fascinating, disturbing, touching, often hard. It is immersed in the Resistance, it is among these men of great courage, about everything for freedom. We meet heroes, and traitors also unconscious. It shows the beauty of human nature and its weaknesses, not its ugly because we are not here to judge. In this sense, it is truly an indispensable witness to read. In terms of form, we are more in the story that the novel, which is sometimes confusing. Some actions are sent too quickly for example, changing little piece of history by bit. If this side there unless I liked, fortunately the pen of Joseph Kessel makes it easily accessible for reading anyway.
The end precisely suffers a little bit the effect of clean cuts and extracts that gives the impression of stop in the middle of nowhere but I think the key lies elsewhere.
