Far from general theories, global analyses, it is by exploring individual itineraries that Patrick Rotman tries to find an answer. For months, he collected testimonies from men who had faced extreme violence. These concrete testimonies, sometimes unbearable, weave the dark face of a terrible war. They form a story where thirty destinies intertwine with the history of the Algerian war.
