About the Book

English summary: Andre Hebert is the pseudonym of a young Frenchman who went off to fight the Islamic State for fifteen months alongside Syrian Kurds. In his book, Jusqu'a` Raqqa - site of the final battle waged with his YPG comrades, the "People Protection Units," in the jihadist capital - he presents the first essential eye-witness account of this conflict. Upon reading this war journal, we are plunged into the harsh daily life of those leading the combat against Daesh, and the ferocity of the battles pitting them against each other. Yet Jusqu'a` Raqqa is also a political manifesto: that of an internationalist activist who, in 2015, chose to risk his life for his beliefs-"I'm expressing myself as a revolutionary, internationalist, and Marxist activist supporting the Kurdish cause." They were seven hundred volunteers-including some thirty Frenchmen-who had come from every corner of the globe to recreate, in Syrian Kurdistan, the fight of the International Brigades in Spain, and it is also to them that Andre He'bert wishes to pay tribute. A handful of soldiers amidst an army comprised of Kurds, Arabs, Yazidi Kurds, and Turks. Many lives were lost in a war in which car bombs, kamikazes, and handmade mines caused as much destruction as conventional weapons. After a brief incarceration in Erbil, in Iraqi Kurdistan, Andre Hebert was greeted at his Paris domicile by police of the French General Directorate of Internal Security (DGSI) just as he was about to return to Syria to take part in the final battle against Daesh. Undeterred, he sued the French State, and managed to rejoin the combat zone for the advance on Raqqa. Among its ruins, he fought in the final fierce clashes with the jihadists, who had nothing left to lose, and who would exact a high price for their defeat. French description: Andre Hebert est le pseudonyme d'un jeune Francais parti combattre durant quinze mois l'Etat islamique aux cotes des Kurdes de Syrie. Dans Jusqu'a Raqqa, lieu de la derniere bataille menee avec ses camarades du YPG, les Unites de Defense du Peuple , dans la capitale des djihadistes, il livre le premier temoignage, essentiel, sur ce conflit. A la lecture de ce journal de guerre, on plonge dans la vie quotidienne, apre, de ceux qui menent la lutte contre Daech et dans la ferocite des combats qui les opposent. Mais Jusqu'a Raqqa est aussi un manifeste politique. Celui de ce militant internationaliste qui choisit en 2015 de risquer sa vie pour ses idees: Je m'exprime en tant qu'activiste revolutionnaire, internationaliste, marxiste, soutenant la cause kurde. Ils sont 700 volontaires venus du monde entier - dont une trentaine de Francais - a vouloir reproduire au Kurdistan syrien le combat des Brigades internationales en Espagne et c'est aussi a eux qu'Andre Hebert veut rendre hommage. Une poignee de soldats au milieu d'une armee composee de Kurdes, d'Arabes, de Kurdes yezidis et de Turcs. Beaucoup meurent dans une guerre ou les voitures piegees, les kamikazes, les mines artisanales font autant de ravages que les armes classiques. Apres avoir ete brievement emprisonne a Erbil, au Kurdistan irakien, ce sont les policiers de la DGSI qui le cueillent a son domicile parisien alors qu'il va repartir en Syrie participer a l'hallali contre Daech. Determine, Andre Hebert poursuit en justice l'Etat francais et parvient a rejoindre une deuxieme fois la zone des combats. Jusqu'a Raqqa. Dans ses ruines, il participe aux derniers et furieux affrontements contre des djihadistes qui n'ont plus rien a perdre et vont faire payer cherement leur defaite.
