The United States has no shortage of famous military units, from the Civil War’s Iron Brigade to the 101st Airborne, but one would be hard pressed to find one that had to go through as many hardships off the battlefield as the Montford Point Marines, a group of African American soldiers who overcame Jim Crow at home and official segregation in the military to serve their country in the final years of World War II.

Catapult is the magical but true story of two men, a microscopic arts grant, and the siege weapon this volatile combination somehow produced. Bristling with idiosyncrasy, Jim and Harry are an odd couple whose story is the occasion for a sly meditation on the nature of modern masculinity.

Plus de soixante ans après sa mort, il personnifie souvent le soldat qui inspire le respect aussi bien pour sa maîtrise de l'art de la guerre que pour s'être montré réservé à l'égard du régime hitlérien. Or, à la lumière des archives et de récentes recherches parues pour la plupart en langue allemande, il convient de remettre en question cette image apologétique.
