In autumn 1944, during the Liberation of Brittany, writer Louis Guilloux worked as an interpreter for the American army.

He also discovered the racism of American military justice. This experience haunted the novelist for thirty years. In 1976, he recounted it in a short novel, "Ok, Joe", which went unnoticed.
