Hope, resilience, and a firsthand account from the road to captivity

This is a first‑hand memoir by Georges Desson, an engineer whose eleven months in German custody are told with clarity and humanity. It records the moment war changes lives, from the rush of mobilization to life as a prisoner, all seen through the eyes of a steady, hopeful narrator.

The book focuses on character, restraint, and the pursuit of truth amid chaos, making sense of a harrowing experience without sensationalism.
