Why break the silence when you have a career in the French Army, where you have commanded for more than 25 years as an officer?

Why return to his military experience acquired at ground level in three major theaters of extreme violence: Cambodia, the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, when he has fulfilled his mission?

Why write a book, then two, then three, in the general indifference of French public opinion and political parties?

"So as not to suffer", replies Guillaume Ancel via the blog he created on the internet, where he questions the role of France in its "OPEX", its external military operations.

This advocacy was able to help move the lines, particularly on the role of France in the genocide of the Tutsi in Rwanda.

In sound immersion, we explore the memory of Guillaume Ancel, St-Cyrien by training.
