Title : Memoirs - The Fields of Embers - Hélie de Saint-Marc - book
Summary :
The Resistance, the Gestapo, the Buchenwald concentration camp, the Foreign Legion, Indochina, Suez, the Algiers putsch... marked the life of this exceptional military figure.
A destiny: From Buchenwald to the Algiers putsch, passing through the great Indochinese passion, Hélie de Saint Marc lived through most of the tumults and contradictions of our contemporary history. A man: It has been said of him that he carried his life in his eyes. Courageous and meditative, tolerant and rebellious, he confounds analyses in one fell swoop. A Will: Hélie de Saint Marc recounts what he has learned from life. He explains courage, commitment, loyalty, honor, love, prison, death, the meaning of a human trace... A memory: The Fields of Embers speak of these deportation camps rendered to rust and wind, of the thrilling and wounded Vietnam that Hélie de Saint Marc loved so much, as well as of these Algerian years which left, on each side of the Mediterranean, a taste of ashes and unfinished business.

Title : The Ninth Wave - Geneviève Gennari - book
Summary :
With an innate sense of phrasing, an art of portraiture, and a taste for the unfolding of history, Marie-France Garaud tells us about the past fifty years. The de Gaulle/Mitterrand opposition, but also Georges Pompidou, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, and Jacques Chirac. Don Juan, the proud seducer, challenges the noble Commendatore in Mozart's opera. The latter triumphs, however. Don Juan, struck down, disappears into hell. Everything can then return to normal. "It never lasts long, the feast of fools," sings Masetto. The Fifth Republic carried within it a similar challenge, that of Don Juan-Mitterrand against de Gaulle. But in our history, it is Don Juan who ultimately prevails over the Commendatore. The man who dared to declare: "Gaullism is only a personal adventure" left behind carefully chosen seeds of destruction that continue to perfect his work beyond his lifetime. And, following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Jacques Chirac has become, consciously or not, the executor of the man who prided himself on being the "last true president" of the Fifth Republic. What mysterious force then led the presumptive heir to the Gaullist tradition to follow in the footsteps of François Mitterrand, thus completing the dismemberment of the political structures with which the General had endowed France? For it is indeed dead, the Fifth Republic, after a long agony, and the time has come to draw up the death certificate while the Feast of Fools continues unabated... It is a story that lasted barely fifty years and whose roots we have already forgotten. It happens to be that of my generation and that, from a small corner of the stage, I saw its thread unfold.

Title : Brothers to be slaughtered - Takeover of the Grand Orient of France - Hugues Leforestier - book
Summary : For over 20 years, scandals and power struggles have tarnished the image of French Freemasonry. Today, an advisor to the Order of the Grand Orient of France, who wants to be proud of his obedience once again, is speaking out and explaining himself. The situation within the "Cadet house" is serious. Anonymous letters, denunciations, false rumors: anything goes to rule without sharing power. Today, Hugues Leforestier has decided to break the silence on the financial scandals that have recently been the subject of legal complaints for theft and misuse of corporate assets. He is protesting against a handful of hierarchs clinging to power, stifling debate, and incapable of revitalizing the obedience. For him, as for many others, it is urgent to publicly state why the Grand Orient, for so long the driving force of the French Republics, is in complete disarray and running on empty, how the obedience is being exploited by stifling all bold thinking, while fighting for bits of power, honorary positions, and opaque accounting. Those who protest have today become targets, "Brothers" to be brought down... But for the author, there is more important: faced with a changing world, faced with the anger rumbling outside, the thousands of Brothers must live up to their elders. History is being written now. It is time to breathe new life into Freemasonry. Hugues Leforestier: Advisor to the Order of the Grand Orient of France, of which he was Secretary General in 2005 and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of its real estate subsidiary in 2006. Philippe Lobjois: War reporter, he covered recent conflicts before turning to writing and investigative journalism. Latest published work, DGSE-Service Action.
