Title : The Mysterious Doctor Martin - 1895-1969 - Pean Pierre - book

Summary :

Henri Martin is certainly the greatest conspirator of the century. Born in the midst of the Dreyfus affair, he joined the Action Française at the age of fourteen, fascinated by the anti-republican rhetoric and activism of Charles Maurras's followers. But Martin was a fierce independent and quickly left the monarchist organization, which he deemed too timid. In the 1930s, Jews, Freemasons, international finance, and the Bolsheviks fueled his excitement and his determination to wage war against the adversaries of the values ​​of eternal France in whose name he fought. Then, with a few extremists, he founded the famous Cagoule, whose avowed objective was to overthrow the Republic, fight the Spanish Republicans, and eradicate communism... Martin, who spent his entire life working in political intelligence, put his fierce energy at the service of Pétain. But soon the passion for intrigue took over, first against Laval (deemed too favorable to the occupier), then against part of the Vichy government (which, he thought, was obstructing the National Revolution). Exasperated, the Vichy authorities had him interned in 1942. And Martin would end the war as an agent of the Americans! After the war, he resumed his fight against the communists, and soon his career as a conspirator. His plots against the Fourth Republic were finally diverted by the Gaullists in May 58: Martin was thus a key player in the return of General de Gaulle, whom he nevertheless loathed. Then, of course, it was the OAS Tranquille est la République when Martin rested at... La Santé. Here is an extraordinary journey through the century, the life of a magnificent conspirator, told from an investigation among the last witnesses of this epic, a dive into the archives and the family papers of the mysterious Doctor.
