Adler, l'aigle à deux têtes tome 01 - le choix du mensonge

With a father killed in the trenches and a young brother who died of the Spanish flu, the young Hans Raeder has everything to become a miserable among many others in the Germany of the interwar period. But he has several assets. First, his mother, who gives him the best education that his limited means can afford him. Then, he has a dream: to become a fighter pilot, like those whose stories he reads in the magazines or whose adventures he admires in the cinema. Finally, he has an indomitable will to survive. If, for this, like his country, he must nourish his reality with myths, staging, some would even say lies, he is ready to do so. As he is ready to deny certain principles, certain values. But on the other side of the Atlantic, there is a man who is like him, who wants to become a pilot. And who is his enemy... but not only. Their destinies are linked, whether they want it or not.
