The French secret services are full of superlatives, preconceived ideas, and paradoxes. Who controls them? What is their role? What is their real power? Through rare archives and interviews with direct witnesses of this troubled history, we will explore the mysteries of the French secret services. With the arrival of François Mitterrand and the left in power, France will not only have to face the distrust of its secret services but also that of its American partner. If the secret services take up the gauntlet by distinguishing themselves through the Farewell Affair, the "Rainbow Warrior" Affair destabilizes them lastingly and casts great discredit on the government and its president François Mitterrand.
