Éric Branca, historian and journalist

Believed to know everything of the conflict who, thirty years, opposed de Gaulle to American power, of the imbroglio of Algiers (1942) to confrontation on the Viet Nam (1964-1968), through the withdrawal of command integrated NATO (1967). Thanks to the declassifiees archive now available, this story deserved to be largely rewritten, many aspects of the issue having been deliberately hidden from public.
