"J’ai été un otage, j’ai vécu des heures sombres enfermé dans les geôles d’une Katiba islamiste. Je m’étais fait une promesse : si je survis, je témoignerai de ce que j’ai vécu. Une telle perspective m’a aidé à ne pas sombrer dans le désespoir ou la folie. Je suis un militaire, un homme de terrain, un ancien membre du Service Action de la DGSE.
Toute ma vie, j’ai choisi le danger, les missions périlleuses, le combat. J’ai survécu mais cette épreuve m’a changé à jamais. Quand on a envisagé chaque jour comme le dernier, peut-on s’estimer sauvé d’avoir retrouvé la liberté ?"

Dans ce récit de guerre d'une rare intensité, le lecteur est plongé au sein d'une unité de combat, lors de l'opération Barkhane.

Il plonge le lecteur dans les dunes de sable, sous une chaleur écrasante, où la mort peut surgir à tout instant et où la ruse du tacticien, la bataille de l'influence et la force morale sont aussi décisives qu'un canon de 155mm.

Now, fifty years later, the author reflects on his journey, seeking to understand both the personal impact of those years and the role he played in the larger tapestry of history.

The Maginot Line was a marvel of 1930s engineering. The huge forts, up to eighty meters underground, contained hospitals, modern kitchens, telephone exchanges, and even electric trains. Kilometers of underground galleries led to casements hidden in the terrain, and turrets that rose from the ground to fire upon the enemy. The fortifications were invulnerable to the heaviest artillery and to chemical warfare. Despite this extensive preparation, France fell to Germany in a little under six weeks.

With a raw honesty and with unexpected graciousness, Hughes charts life after conflict, the unseen scars of depression and PTSD, and the lifelines of salvation that bind us when we are breaking.
