France Back In The NATO Fold
#6
More tracks in the bloody snow leading precisely where?.....

Quote:The OAS attempted several times to assassinate French president Charles de Gaulle. The most prominent attempt was a 1962 ambush at Petit-Clamart, a Paris suburb, planned by a military engineer who was not an OAS member, Jean-Marie Bastien-Thiry. Bastien-Thiry was executed in March 1963 after de Gaulle refused to grant him amnesty. A fictionalized version of this attack was recreated in the 1971 book by Frederick Forsyth, The Day of the Jackal, and the in the 1973 film of the same name.

Quote:The OAS featured prominently in the novel The Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsyth, and its film adaptation. The story deals primarily with a fictional assassination plot against De Gaulle, where the organization hires a contract killer (the Jackal) to kill De Gaulle. Bastien-Thiry and the Petit-Clamart plot figure prominently in the early sections of the story.

The OAS is referenced in the Oliver Stone film JFK, as suspected conspirator Clay Shaw (Tommy Lee Jones) is reputed to have business connections with them. The Petit-Clamart plot is also mentioned several times in the film.
