A legendary unit, the 3e régiment de parachutistes coloniaux was born of the will of an exceptional commanding officer, Marcel Bigeard. A name that rings out like a battle standard, closely associated with the parachute saga in Algeria, where those soon nicknamed the "Bigeard Boys" successfully met every challenge.

Among these, the Suez Crisis in the autumn of 1956 stands as one of the high points of the French parachute epic, within the framework of an airborne operation that prefigured the era of today's "external operations."

An indispensable account, illustrated with more than 200 images, many of them previously unpublished.

The name of Maurice Gamelin inevitably calls to mind the generalissimo held responsible for the defeat of 1940, a military disaster of incalculable consequences. His condemnation seems beyond appeal. Yet a thorough study of the man tends to challenge many certainties about his actual culpability. Casting a dispassionate eye — far removed from bitter...
