Notes

Description
"An old man returns to Vietnam, his native country, in order to understand the dramas of his family and personal history. Born in 1927 to a non-nobel mother and a father who was Jewish and a doctor, both residents of French. He had a happy childhood. Then the Second World War happened. In 1943, his parents and his brother are killed, victims of the anti-Semitic vichysts. Angry with France, he joined the Communists of Viet Minh and became one of their agents operting under the name of Thai ("Jew"). But disillusionment will not long. He had multiple Aliases. But he always had the strange feeling that someone was watching him ..." --,Catalgoer's interpretation of the French synopsis on the cover
Description
"Un vieil homme s'en retourne au Vietnam, son pays natal, afin de comprendre les drames de son histoire familiale et personnelle. Né en 1927 d'une mère de petite noblesse et d'un père juif médecin, tous deux français, il connaît une enfance heureuse. Puis la Seconde Guerre mondiale vient tout briser. En 1943, ses parents sont brutalisés par des vichystes antisémites sous ses yeux et ceux de son petit frère, qui ne survit pas àce traumatisme. Orphelin - ses parents se laissent mourir -, en colère contre la France, il rejoint les communistes du Viêt minh et devient agent de leurs basses oeuvres sous le nom de Do Thai (± juif »). Mais la désillusion ne tardera pas. Tour à tour paria, félon, transfuge, bureaucrate, insoumis, il mènera plusieurs existences. Avec, toujours, le sentiment étrange que quelqu'un veille sur lui..." -,Back cover
