As the first young secretary to legendary Jean Moulin, one of the leaders of Conseil National de la Résistance, Cordier recounts Moulin's tense negotiations to bring together the resistance movements and persuade them to join forces under de Gaulle's banner between 1942 and '43. Cordier was a lookout on the fateful day the National Resistance Council was created, confirming de Gaulle's legitimacy in the eyes of the French people and, crucially, in the eyes of Roosevelt and the Allied leadership. Later in life, Cordier penned his first-hand account of his role in the creation of Jean Moulin's secretariat in Lyon and then Paris. \u003ci\u003eAlias Caracalla\u003c\/i\u003e is a brave and passionate story of action and self-discovery in times of war, with a sensitive and nuanced translation by Rupert Swyer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Cordier \u003c\/b\u003e(1920-2020) was a French Resistance fighter and historian.
