Impossible to "like" it - it's a memoir of an innocent, good, honest man, condemned to a 5-year-long torture, physical abuse and mental suffering, because to him being falsely accused of treason was the worst thing that could happen to an honorable soldier, loving his country and his duty. It's painful, reading about abuse he suffered in his prison in Guyane, reading censored letters from his wife where she could only write about their family and her emotions (not a word about her - and other brave people's - efforts to clear his name and to find the real culprit). Painful and awful, even though the happy (?) end is known to everyone. It's Kafka, but unlike in Kafka's books, here it's the real life, the real malice, the real physical abuse, something that really happened and something that could be (or is) repeated by unfeeling contemporary State bureaucracies.
