A book full of filial piety, but without complacency, in which Chaix Marie tells how his father, Albert Beugras, became one of the top aides of Jacques Doriot, and the disaster that followed. It captures the ambiguity of Beugras, which seems to run through too compromising situations than its true ambitions and convictions, and that only a dramatic turnaround jacket avoid the post, but not without having destroyed his family. This is also what there is more touching in this book: the poignant description of the destruction of a family by the political commitment of its leader.
