References end of the book: practice. I would also have liked some cinematic references, with a short analysis. Maybe for the next edition?
However, various reserves, in my view:
- The presentation is regularly confused. I did not know or who he was talking or when.
- I would have appreciated a more structured presentation, and giving details of certain transactions featuring these young people. the author probably did with his sources, but long pages on prison stays less captivated me.
- The style is sometimes too complacent in the sense of a adolescentrique youthism. It's annoying. Adolescence is a transitional period, it is not an ideal. She is preparing for adulthood.
- I will not go into all the references presented. For me, a child who escapes from a train can not be named "resistant" in the same way as those who are engaged in actions information, or armies. Same as for those who were content to dance when it was forbidden 'they were simply disobedient or consciously "resistance", we can ask the question!
- I am astonished that there is no reference to the 3rd Marine Angers troupe was awarded the Military Cross for his acts of resistance (information, exfiltration drivers that were hidden in the premises of the company, guiding Patton's army after the landing). This information is nevertheless long been known.
- The author gives some details that have nothing to do with about the book and that I find particularly displaced: what do we need to know that Scots participating in the war will become a great promoter of the works Sade? Was it necessary to praise these Neuwirth and Beaulieu whose inventions (pills and abortion pills) have proven at least as devastating as Nazi eugenics? We are in full contradiction.
- Similarly, quite moved Compare combat resistant Warsaw than the Communards in France (1871). As if Thiers was a Nazi! Remember that this insurrection was conducted in France against the government elected by the National Assembly.
- Also moved, the fact of comparing the ardor of Komsomol youth to the faith of the first Christians' Roger Faligot does not know whereof he speaks.
In short, in my view, quite awkward and uneven book.
