Publisher Description:

On January 7, 2015, two armed gunmen stormed the offices of the French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, killing 11 people. This attack and those that followed left 17 people dead and a country in shock. In response, on January 11, 2015, the French public took to the streets in what was to be the largest march in Paris since its liberation in 1944.

This book, written in French and English, is a first hand account of the demonstration by two friends. Tim Lyons is a 23-year-old American photographer and a philosophy student who was visiting Paris for the first time that week and Pierre Rabourdin a 22-year-old French university student who was working at the time on a thesis exploring the development of French national identity. Combining their skills, they transport readers into the Parisian crowd during that unforgettable moment in French history when the entire country stood together in the name of unity and peace.
