Publisher's Synopsis
The Hit... The story is divided into two parts: a portion of the story tells the life of a young Pied-Noir at the end of French colonial regime and his experience of urban guerrilla warfare, his distraught flight from Algeria, his inability to integrate in France, and then his immigration to Québec with his family. In the second portion, the perpetrator recounts his participation in the assassination of John F Kennedy on November 22, 1963, in Dallas. It is also the story of some of the people he crossed, his interaction with the various actors of the "coup d'états"... until his return to Québec. This is not a story about the morality or the politics surrounding the murder of a larger-than-life president. It is the story of an ordinary man who, by accident and for his own survival, was involuntary involved in something peculiar, even if he had killed many people during his three years of service with the Foreign Legion, during the Algerian revolution: the murder of the President of the United States.
