Description

Long live the revolution. To hell with its children. In Paris, the Nada gang – a small cell of left-wing radicals – hatch a plan: kidnap the U.S.

ambassador. They’re armed, angry, and almost successful – but totally unprepared for what follows. The state moves fast and without mercy.

As the crackdown begins, the group splinters under pressure – exposing cowardice, betrayal, and the thin line between radical idealism and outright nihilism. There will be no heroes – only casualties. Jean-Patrick Manchette skewers both the establishment and its would-be destroyers in this pitch-black political thriller.

Nada is his most overtly radical work: a savage, stylish dissection of violence, ideology, and the wreckage left behind.
