La fin d’un scandale ? Il peut para\u00eetre outr\u00e9 d’employer de tels mots \u00e0 propos de ce livre. Et pourtant ! La parution en fran\u00e7ais du SOE in France<\/em> de Michael Foot n’est possible aujourd’hui que gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la lev\u00e9e d’une mise \u00e0 l’index impos\u00e9e durant quarante ans par un gouvernement \u00e9tranger et ami.<\/p>\n

Ni l’histoire diplomatique, ni l’histoire litt\u00e9raire n’offrent rien de comparable. SOE in France<\/em>, r\u00e9dig\u00e9 \u00e0 Londres sur commande gouvernementale avec l’assentiment du Premier ministre de l’\u00e9poque et \u00e9dit\u00e9 en 1966, puis r\u00e9\u00e9dit\u00e9 en 1967 par l’Imprimerie royale britannique (HMSO) dans la collection officielle d’histoire de la Grande-Bretagne en guerre, a \u00e9t\u00e9 interdit de publication en fran\u00e7ais pendant pr\u00e8s d’un demi-si\u00e8cle par d\u00e9cision du Foreign Office. Un grand \u00e9diteur parisien l’avait fait traduire : le veto de Londres bloqua l’entre\u00adprise.<\/p>\n

On peut penser que le Secr\u00e9taire d’\u00c9tat de Sa Majest\u00e9 craignit de susciter l’irritation du g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de Gaulle, alors au sommet de sa carri\u00e8re, et les protestations d’anciens r\u00e9sistants, en laissant publier en France une relation made in Britain et sous timbre officiel de l’action clan\u00addestine britannique dans notre pays durant la derni\u00e8re guerre.<\/p>\n

Une critique acidul\u00e9e de l’ouvrage avait paru dans le Figaro Litt\u00e9raire du 16 juin 1966 sous la signature de l’ancien chef des services secrets de la France Libre Andr\u00e9 Dewavrin, alias colonel Passy. Son titre abusi\u00advement provocateur: \u00ab M.R.D. Foot, n’attaquez pas injustement la France Libre ! \u00bb et les multiples interventions de son auteur ont pu renforcer les diplomates britanniques dans leur prudence.<\/p>\n

Il a fallu attendre 2004 pour qu’une nouvelle \u00e9dition de SOE in France, publi\u00e9e en Grande-Bretagne et aux \u00c9tats-Unis, incite les responsables de plusieurs hautes institutions fran\u00e7aises \u00e0 demander la lev\u00e9e du veto, puis \u00e0 s’accorder, la premi\u00e8re traduction s’\u00e9tant perdue, pour en financer une nouvelle et tirer de sa quasi-clandestinit\u00e9 un ouvrage qui reste une des premi\u00e8res sources de notre histoire clandestine.<\/p>\n

C’est dire que l’importance de SOE in France n’a \u00e9t\u00e9 connue, depuis sa parution, que dans un \u00e9troit c\u00e9nacle. Arthur Calmette, historien du mouvement clandestin Organisation civile et militaire et ancien r\u00e9sistant de marque, salua en 1967 dans la Revue d’histoire de la Deuxi\u00e8me Guerre mondiale \u00ab une oeuvre ma\u00eetresse, […] importante par son volume, sa densit\u00e9, le s\u00e9rieux de sa documentation, l’effort d’objectivit\u00e9 de l’auteur, […] la premi\u00e8re tentative pour pr\u00e9senter une vue d’ensemble de l’\u0153uvre des services secrets britanniques en France \u00bb. Et de conclure que, en d\u00e9pit de quelques critiques et lacunes, \u00ab aucun historien de la R\u00e9sistance fran\u00e7aise ne [pourrait] d\u00e9sormais \u00e9crire sans avoir recours \u00e0 cet ouvrage \u00bb.<\/p>\n

Son auteur, Michael Foot, est en effet un pionnier de l’histoire des services secrets ; son autorit\u00e9 et sa probit\u00e9 intellectuelle sont unanimement reconnues ; il est un francophile av\u00e9r\u00e9. Il a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 la Seconde Guerre mondiale, en particulier dans ses derni\u00e8res phases, en qualit\u00e9 d’officier de renseignement de la brigade du Special Air Service (SAS), l’unit\u00e9 de parachutistes charg\u00e9e d’op\u00e9rer sur les arri\u00e8res ennemis.<\/p>\n

Rescap\u00e9 lui-m\u00eame d’un parachutage qui lui valut d’\u00eatre fait prisonnier par les Allemands, il a eu par la suite une carri\u00e8re universitaire brillante, d’abord enseignant \u00e0 Oxford, puis titulaire de la chaire d’Histoire moderne \u00e0 l’Universit\u00e9 de Manchester. Bien que SOE in France ait \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9dig\u00e9 dans le cadre d’une mission officielle et que son texte ait \u00e9t\u00e9 revu, avant publication, par les principaux chefs du service, puis ait b\u00e9n\u00e9fici\u00e9 d’une sorte de nihil obstat de la part des autorit\u00e9s pub…<\/p>\n
