Jean-Patrick Manchette

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.
