The author of this work does not seek to hide his sympathies. So there may be some value in the assertion that he guarantees, and can prove the accuracy of, all reported facts and especially all quoted documents. However, despite the truth of everything he has written, he does not pretend to adequately encompass the whole of the occupation movement. The time for such work will come. At the moment there is almost no available material concerning the provinces and very little about the factories, even in the region of Paris.On the other hand, even in limiting himself to the aspects of the occupation movement studied here, essential but nonetheless circumscribed, the author could not discuss certain aspects of the event because their divulgence could be used against various persons. Given the moment at which this book is about to be published, this will be easily understood. The author had the pleasure of collaborating with several members of the Situationist International, two of whom were former members of the Enrag�s group. Without them the book would certainly not have been written.
