Title : Between Dogs and Wolves - Gilbert Cesbron - book

Summary :

The demonstration rumbles in the Latin Quarter. Leaning against the gates of the Luxembourg Gardens, Roland Guérin listens to the clamor with the same shudder that, as a child, the cries of his wild comrades playing "deer hunt" inspired in him. Is it fear or disgust for violence? While he wonders, his friend Georges, as before, enthusiastically throws himself into the fray. Georges will be a career officer, Roland a high school teacher. One fights in Indochina, then in the Aurès; the other teaches classes and, in his spare time, writes articles against the Army that he does not sign. Out of cowardice? The word strikes Roland, troubled by the strange similarities between his adversaries and his supporters. He enlists. In Algeria, Lieutenant Guérin discovers the realities of war with its horrors and its justifications. There he also discovers love. Between Dogs and Wolves recounts the stages of a crisis of conscience in an era where violence reigns, and answers this essential question: What is true courage?
