Arnaud Beltrame - Le Don et l'Engagement #[nn]

This 2021 graphic biography from Éditions Plein Vent pays tribute to French gendarmerie lieutenant-colonel Arnaud Beltrame, whose determined face — rendered in striking close-up against the French tricolor — gazes out with quiet resolve from the top of the cover. Below him, armored riot officers with raised weapons advance alongside a lone gendarme walking toward a tense indoor scene, together capturing the gravity and courage that defined Beltrame's service. By Delalande and Bidot, Le Don et l'Engagement frames its subject with both intimacy and urgency, making it a compelling read for anyone drawn to stories of duty and sacrifice.
