De 1940 à 1944, une bande de malfrats, dirigée par Henri Lafont et Pierre Bonny – un petit escroc allié à un flic ripou – s'est mise au service de l'occupant allemand en semant la terreur et le chaos dans la capitale française. Protégée par les nazis, cette organisation criminelle est entrée dans l'histoire sous le nom de la Gestapo française de la rue Lauriston, surnommée la Carlingue. De loin la plus puissante, la plus crainte et la plus haïe des Gestapos françaises, elle était également la mieux organisée.

In The Synthetic Cause, David Boles traces how a beaten cause captured the story of its own defeat. It wrote the textbooks, raised the monuments, sainted the losers, and walked back into American institutions through the front door. The old machinery worked in bronze and marble and said out loud what it wanted. The machinery running now has learned to hide.

David W. Powell enlisted for a tour of duty in April 1966 with the US Marines after receiving an imminent draft notice. Believing he would be able to leverage his existing skills as a computer programmer, he never thought all they would see on his resume was his Karate expertise.

David's journey from naive civilian to battle-hardened combat veteran shows us all how fragile our humanity really is.
