More about the book
Exploring the complex dynamics of the Cold War, the narrative unfolds through the memories of both American GIs and French citizens at the Dèols-Châteauroux Air Station, the largest U.S. Air Force supply base in Europe. Through interviews and archival photos, it reveals the initial distrust and evolving relationships between the occupying forces and the local population, influenced by propaganda and political tensions. The story culminates with the closure of the base under Charles de Gaulle, reflecting broader themes of occupation, identity, and the bittersweet nature of foreign alliances.
