***FOR EVALONLY!!!*****Reading this book, we are shocked to realize how a family can be broken when they are forgotten, ignored or judged by those institutions whose mission is to offer them support. We discover the true story of a tragedy that not only brought its victim into despair, solitude and eventually death, but also imprisoned his close ones into silence.Fortunately, the situation of criminal act victims and their families has changed but only because they have let their voice be heard, as Pierre has done on behalf of his father and his family. But at what cost? The answer is in his book: At the cost of his father's inner life. "The day of the abduction marked the beginning of Charles' journey into solitude which continued to deepen until his death. Being abducted and having his reputation and honor destroyed resulted into isolation, as if he had been dehumanized..."After 40 years, I hope that this book will help towards re-establishing the reputation of the victim and his family, and that shedding light at the end of this very long tunnel of suffering will be their reward.
Pierre Marion Libri
Pierre Marion, ex alto funzionario francese e capo dell'intelligence francese, ha lasciato un segno indelebile nei servizi segreti del paese. Le sue esperienze, maturate in una lunga carriera nell'aviazione e negli affari internazionali, lo hanno portato a riformare l'SDECE, trasformandolo nella DGSE. Marion sostenne la 'smilitarizzazione' dei servizi segreti, sottolineando la necessità di integrare civili con diverse competenze per migliorarne l'efficacia operativa. Attraverso i suoi scritti, offrì acute critiche alla leadership politica e all'apparato di intelligence, descrivendo rivalità interne e inefficienze, ed evidenziando una mancanza di acume economico nella governance della Francia. Le sue opere offrono una prospettiva unica e interna sul funzionamento del potere e delle operazioni clandestine.


Pierre Marion a fait toute sa carrière dans l'aéronautique avant de devenir patron de la DGSE. Après avoir pris sa retraite, il fait le point sur le monde tel qu'il a pu l'observer à partir de sa position privilégiée à la tête de l'espionnage français, et écrit Mémoires de l'ombre. Avec précision et vivacité, il brosse, entre autres, les portraits cruels de personnalités troublantes comme Charles Hernu et François Mitterrand. Le " souverain usé ", comme il l'appelle, l'a en effet toujours abusé. Un règne du mensonge qui a conduit Pierre Marion à démissionner, préférant se retirer plutôt que d'accepter des missions douteuses. Fourmillant d'anecdotes et de révélations, Mémoires de l'ombre est une vision de premier ordre de la démocratie, de ses hommes, de ses organes ainsi que de ses services secrets.
