Why read it?
1 author picked The Black Terrorist as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Black Terrorist recounts the singular trajectory of Addi Bâ from French Guinea who arrived in France in 1938, enlisted in 1939, was taken prisoner almost immediately, escaped in 1940 and joined the Resistance in the Vosges mountains.

A journey between the small-mindedness and cowardice of some and the humanity and courage of others.
From Christophe's list on the French Resistance.
