NONE DARE CALL IT TREASON

by Catherine Gavin ‧ RELEASE DATE: July 10, 1978

Gavin (Traitor's Gate) is hot after the legend of de Gaulle again, who, she claims again, was a shade more interested in his own cause than that of the Allies. And again Gavin plasters fiction (with a high lead content) around her forensics on the subject. At the center of this static tale is ""Captain Jack,"" a.k.a. Jacques Brunel, super-supervisor of a group of Resisters based in Nice--the ""Knives."" One knife at least is rather dull, absent-mindedly leaving a briefcase full of resistance Names on a trolley. But then leader Jacques doesn't seem to do much but talk--tiresomely. There's a flurry of mini-action when an infanticide sends another acquaintance squealing political information, and of course Jacques must escape to England with pretty Polly the American-rooted cosmopolite with whom he falls in love. In England Jacques is tortured by the de Gaullist gestapo, but after all, it's England, and he is soon fit to return to France--with Polly, who would never let him talk alone. Ennui of a high order.
