This thesis analyses the way Kessel, Gary and Malraux wrote history. Its purpose is to study how those writers-fighters narrated their experience by blurring the line between genres. This will show how the three of them gave history to understand, from the time events occurred on the spot to the time they reconsidered them, decades after they took place. Thus the events are placed at the heart of a chain linking founding myths and they are used for a political purpose.
