Description
In France during the final year of the German occupation, a group of resistance agents find their plans subverted from without and within. Melville puts aside his celebrated but emotionally distant style for this profoundly moving yet still enormously suspenseful story of men and women who must betray their own humanity for the sake of their struggle.
