About This Book
L'ouvrage examine, à partir de documents contemporains, le fonctionnement secret d'un service de police politique. Il décrit les méthodes d'information et d'infiltration, l'emploi d'agents provocateurs, l'organisation hiérarchique et les dispositifs de surveillance, et illustre ces procédés par récits de troubles publics et portraits d'agents et de responsables. L'auteur met en lumière les justifications officielles de l'usage de moyens extraordinaires ainsi que les conséquences de ces pratiques sur la vie politique, la liberté d'expression et la sécurité des opposants.
