Title : They were waiting for dawn - Claude Michelet - book
Summary
Paris, 1940. Jean, Albert and René are young and full of illusions... But they don't yet know to what extent their choices will seal their destiny. Claude Michelet's great novel about the Resistance.
In the winter of 1940, the Germans occupied Paris. Three friends, Jean, Albert, and René, shared a common love of swimming and a shared anxiety about a bleak future. On November 11th, without much thought, Jean participates in an anti-German demonstration organized around the Arc de Triomphe. Accosted by the police, he injures a gendarme while trying to escape, leaving him with his jacket and papers. From now on, he is a fugitive who has no other choice but to turn to a young American journalist he met shortly before, who leads him to a fashion house run by a surprising woman: Claire Diamond. Although she dresses the companions of all the influential Germans in Paris, Jean will quickly understand that Claire plays a role in the Resistance that is being born. It is she who will allow him to join these networks to which he feels so naturally drawn. Albert, for his part, chose collaboration. He did not hesitate for a second to infiltrate student circles and denounced all rebels against Nazi propaganda. Under a pseudonym, he actively collaborated with the most virulent newspapers, such as I am everywhere Or The Sheaf. As for René, too preoccupied with his personal pleasure, women, and the good life, he chose neither side. Yet he found himself forcibly conscripted into the STO and suffered a thousand deaths in the depths of Germany. Through three stories, Claude Michelet retraces, with the rigor of a historian and the breath of a novelist, all the facets of this dramatic era when a tiny handful of men and women were able to restore France's greatness and honor. It is also, implicitly, Claude Michelet's homage to his father, the great patriot and resistance fighter Edmond Michelet.
