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.
