Histoire de la milice et les forces du maintien de l'ordre

"Poursuivant son œuvre d'historien, Michel Germain nous donne maintenant un ouvrage dont il n'est pas trop de dire qu'il constitue une somme, l'instrument incomparable pour connaître de la répression en Haute-Savoie par la Milice et les forces du maintien de l'Ordre. [...] Mais en dépit de la brutalité de la répression, en dépit des cours martiales, des exécutions sommaires, des déportations ; malgré le sang versé, les tortures et toutes les souffrances infligées, les forces du Maintien de l'Ordre n'ont maintenu l'ordre nulle part... Et comment en aurait-il pu être autrement, alors qu'en Haute-Savoie, comme partout en France, résistants et maquisards bénéficiaient de la faveu...

A History of Savoy

Savoy and its Alps were for seven centuries an independent state at the centre of Europe, separating France from the patchwork of principalities that made up Italy. Merchants, clerics, pilgrims, diplomats as well as privileged young Englishmen on the Grand Tour, regularly used the Alpine passes. But it was the need of European armies to cross Savoy which made its rulers powerful as the Gatekeepers of the Alps. It allowed the Duchy of Savoy to prosper and survive when all the other great duchies of Burgundy, Milan, Provence and Dauphin' disappeared at the end of the fifteenth century. Savoy successfully resisted the pressure from Protestant Geneva on its doorstep, but was the first country to succumb to the French Revolution. By judiciously switching alliances during the European wars beginning at the end of the seventeenth century, the House of Savoy finally gained a crown. The conspiracy concocted by Napoleon III and Cavour led directly to the unification of Italy and the definitive annexation of Savoy to France in 1860. Simultaneously, the Alps that had been the source of Savoy's power, now became the source of its prosperity as a centre of tourism.

Mémorial de la déportation

Alors, dans tous les bagnes depuis la Forêt-Noire jusqu'à la Baltique, vos déportés qui survivaient encore, se levèrent sur leurs jambes flageolantes. Et le peuple de ceux dont la technique concentrationnaire avait tenté de faire des esclaves, parce qu'ils avaient été parfois des héros, le peuple dérisoire des tondus et des rayés, notre peuple ! pas encore délivré, encore en face de la mort, ressentit que même s'il ne devait jamais revoir la France, il mourrait avec une âme de vainqueur. André Malraux.

Full of eccentric characters, Killing Dragons is the story of the first British mountaineers to tackle the Alpine summits of Switzerland during the late eighteenth century. Originally the explorers of this area were poorly equipped, wearing ordinary shoes and no protective clothing. The British arrived intent on reaching every Alpine summit, and 'mountaineering' was born. The title refers to the mythical creatures said to inhabit these peaks: 'Here be dragons,' said the old maps ...
