To discuss the subject, Nathalie Perez wanted to pay tribute to the people who work in anti-terrorism. “They are always hooded and work in secret. I wanted to pay tribute to them. They are heroes who save lives every day and take incredible risks in investigations. They risk their lives. They do not have the right to speak of their investigations or their lives This book is made to tell who they are.explains Nathalie Perez, author of the book “A year at the heart of antiterrorism” published by Éditions du Rocher.

“These are men and women who have an ordinary life. Except that in their work, there are terrible constraints in their family life. For example, we teach children not to say that their parents work in anti-terrorism”adds the journalist.
