PRESENTATION - ENGLISH VERSION

They are a handful of men. 4000 in total. All from the Army, the Air Force or the Navy. Far from the Rambo or the hyper-armed Robocops, they are rather rustic soldiers with a strong mental outlook. An immersion in the heart of the special forces through the years, in order to better understand its evolution, its contemporary functioning. Telling the story of the Special Forces means telling "the war in a different way".
