Title : Letter to a Friend - Carlos Ruiz-Garcia - book

Summary :

At 18, Carlos Ruiz-Garcia crossed the Pyrenees with his regiment to escape Franco's army. He thought he was free and safe.
Quartered by the gendarmes in an improvised camp, sleeping in the mud, eating nothing, he would, for months, experience wandering and confinement from one camp to another (Barcares, Argelès) and finally arrive at Saint-Médard-en-Jalles.
He participated in the construction of the Bacalan submarine base, living to the rhythm of alerts, harassment and humiliation.
Carlos Ruiz-Garcia did not want to publish this story before his death. Like many victims of barbarism, fearing the gaze of others, he kept the memory of those dark years within himself.
This authentic story helps to shed light on the opaque history of this era when life, even if hanging by a thread, brilliantly demonstrates its intact capacity to overcome the worst threats.
