Communiqué from Yves Mervin
After ‘Arthur et David‘ in 2011 and ‘Joli mois de mai 1944′ in 2013, I am pleased to present my third book : ‘Viens rejoindre notre armée ! 1944, une Résistance bretonne à contretemps’. Always dealing with Brittany during World War II, this time according to the theme of the Breton nationalist groups, who supported in police and military operations either the Germans or the Allies at the end of the occupation, which was by far more a civil war rather than a war of liberation.
Based again on the facts, testimonies and archives, while avoiding the official versions that I have no hesitation in calling into question.
I will attend the Salon des écrivains bretons in Paris, Saturday 6th of February 2016 , 10-19 pm ( Salle des Fêtes de la Mairie of the 14th : 12 Castagnou Street Metro line 4 : Mouton-Duvernet station). Il will also introduce my book during a conference on Saturday 5th of March 2016 at 3:00 p.m. at the Breton cultural center, place du roy field in Guingamp. This conference is organized by the Institut de documentation bretonne et européenne (IDBE) based in Guingamp.
My book will be available in bookshops and newsagents, distributed by Coop Breizh and the IDBE. Should you have any difficulty in obtaining it, I can send it to you directly: it will then also be signed!
