Going into this, I knew very little about the terrorist attacks in Paris of Friday, Nov 13th, 2015. And if you're simply looking for an account of the horrific actions of that day, this is not the book you're looking for. This book is a mix of court proceedings, trial transcripts, personal reflections, and various other musings about the atrocities of that day from one of France's top print journalists. I found it to be very enlightening, very fast-moving and readable, and definitely an interesting look into the French justice system.

Wow. Carrere is such a unique, caring writer. This is my favorite of his books. The reader was excellent, but I regret not reading a physical copy. Not being French and immersed in the tragedy of the event or trial, I had trouble following some of the individuals covered, particularly the defendants. I normally hate when audiobooks have companion PDFs, but this could be an appropriate book to provide a list of individuals.
