the takeover of L'Herne by Constantin Tacou in favor of financial maneuvers later in 1973. Dominique de Roux began a life of wandering and settled briefly in Lisbon and then in Geneva. Under these conditions he started his new magazine Exil and launched a new book series, Dossiers H, in Éditions L'Âge d'Homme. He published pamphlets and devoted considerable to journalism and television, working as a correspondent in the Portuguese world at the times of implosion and war in its colonies (Guinea-Bissau, Angola, Mozambique). De Roux networked in the lusophone world, primarily serving the SDECE and because of his adherence to a "political transcendentalism" inspired by reading Raymond Abellio with whom his relations were intensifying at the time. This is embodied in his utopia of a "Gaullist International" and in his idea that Portugal represented the assumption of a universal civilization. In April 1974, at the time of the Carnation Revolution, de Roux was the only French journalist present at Lisbon, and probably one of the foreigners with the most direct access to General Spínola. He devoted years to assist the Angolan opposition leader Jonas Savimbi to deal with international press and foreign ministries, as well as to conduct guerrilla warfare. This contribution gave impetus to his final works: Le Cinquième Empire published two weeks before his sudden death at age 41, of a heart attack linked to Marfan syndrome, and the posthumous La Jeune fille au ballon rouge et Le Livre nègre.
