Avant-Propos – 2009

Avant de publier sur ce site l’ouvrage des Editions Foxmaster que je dirigeais dans les courant des années 1990-1995 et avant de me séparer de la Société en prenant soins toutefois de conserver le catalogue et les droits, je voudrais attirer l’attention du lecteur d’expression française sur le point suivant : tant Heimdall que Foxmaster et d’autres ont publié bien des ouvrages sur le sujet. A chaque fois, des lecteurs exprimèrent de nombreux commentaires, souvent positifs ou non. Je lance donc ici un appel à ceux qui d’une manière ou d’une autre seraient susceptibles d’apporter à ce travail une quantité d’anecdotes inédites, des images inconnues voir même des récites toujours inconnus à ce jour. Bien que le coût du maintient de mon site en ligne devient de plus en plus difficile à supporter seul j’aimerai faire savoir aux lecteurs, aux historiens et aux passionnées de cette période que la place n’a pas de limite sur Internet. Il ne peut donc être question d’éloigner des photos ou des récits par manque de place comme dans l’édition papier. Aussi, je vous invite tous à ma faire parvenir vos documents et images via émail avec vos désidératas, vos envies, et surtout vos coordonnées afin de pouvoir ajouter vos propos dans le texte que je publie et que j’envisage de renommer – la version corrigée – avec votre aide, vos essais, vos écrits et même vos livres qui trouveront ici la publicité qu’ils méritent.
