520    "A lost young man and a corrupt politician deal with the 
       legacy World War II has left them in this crime novel, by 
       the author of Talking to Ghosts. 1950s Bordeaux is a city 
       plagued by memories and scars of the Second World War. 
       Meanwhile, across the sea, another war has already begun. 
       The young men of France are sent in droves to Algeria, 
       where they wage brutal battle in a conflict so new it has 
       yet to be given a name. Albert Darlac, a corrupt police 
       chief, fascist sympathizer, and one-time collaborator, 
       will soon discover that not everybody has forgiven or 
       forgotten his wartime crimes. Twenty-year-old Daniel has 
       heard the stories of massacres and mutilations, of 
       ambushes and patrols played out under a burning north 
       African sun. The atrocious loss of his parents and sister 
       in the war that has just ended haunts him. A series of 
       explosive events will bring the destinies of these two men
       together in this uncompromising masterpiece set in a world
       driven by retribution... Praise for After the War "Graphic
       in its violence but rich in history and psychology, this 
       novel is vivid proof that "after the war, sometimes the 
       war continues." - Kirkus Reviews "The writing of Hervé Le 
       Corre has a musicality that verges on the poetic. He is 
       the perfect portraitist." - Le Monde (France) "Composed 
       with all the skill of a virtuoso, mingling the colorful 
       slang of bistros and bad guys with sensitive, sharp, 
       crystalline prose that pierces you to the core. Superb." -
       Télérama (France) "Full-blooded and uncompromising. 
       Extraordinary." - L'Express (France)"--|cProvided by
