A small album representing the second collection of wanted notices issued by Parisian authorities after the attack of Petit-Clamart of August 22, 1962. This attack, called by its organizers 'Operation Charlotte Corday', was an attack organized by Lieutentant-Colonel Jean Bastien-Thiry, whose goal was to assassinate General Charles de Gaulle in the commune of Clamart outside of Paris. This was one of several attempts made by the OAS (Organisation Armée Secrète) to assassinate de Gaulle, and the most prominent. The OAS was a far-right French dissident paramilitary organization formed during the Algerian War. The group carried out terrorist attacks, including bombings and assassinations, in an attempt to prevent Algeria's independence from French colonial rule. Its motto was "L'Algérie est française et le restera.”

On August 22, De Gaulle's car carrying himself, his wife, and his entourage came under fire by submachine guns as it drove through Petit-Clamart. No one was seriously injured, while the perpetrators were all arrested and put on trial. The leader of the attack, Bastien-Thiry, was convicted in 1963 and executed by firing squad, the last person to undergo execution in this manner in France.

The first page of this booklet contains a list of eleven suspects, including names, nicknames, dates and places of birth, noting at the bottom of the page "Leurs photographies et tous les renseignements utiles les concernant figurent dans l'opuscule rouge diffusé fin septembre.” The following pages contain the photographs of thirty individuals connected with the attack, including names, nicknames or aliases, birthdates and places of birth, along with additional details such as physical descriptions, military history, affiliations, arrests and convictions, and in some cases, escapes.
