I read this book on the advice of @zippy. I' ashamed to admit I was not aware this part of the history of my country. Most French know that Alsace/Lorraine changed hands in 1870 and 1918 but I did not know that Alsace was annexed back by Germany following the defeat of 1940.
The story of Marius is interesting as part of the Alsace history but I had trouble with the writing. It reminded more of a folder full of pieces of papers collected over the year than a cohesive story.
That being said, I would recommend the book nonetheless for the forgotten history lesson
