A fascinating biography of Georges Mattéi, a leading figure in anti-colonialist and revolutionary engagement.

By turns a soldier in Algeria, a border smuggler, a forger, a journalist and a writer, Mattéi met the great figures of his time: Jean-Paul Sartre, Fidel Castro, Daniel Cohn-Bendit, whom he brought clandestinely into France in May 1968.

Einaudi traces the journey of this man whose personal pantheon was populated by "poets, those who do not accept defeat, those who do not listen to economic fundamentalists, those who do not submit to the American subculture."

The book reveals an unprecedented story, an extraordinary fresco that is both the biography of a man and the portrait of an era.

The 2013 digital edition is expanded with documents, photos, interviews, videos and previously unpublished texts by Mattéi, including his manuscript on his meeting with Sartre and the full version of his film "Fuera Yankis!" shot in Santo Domingo in 1966.

This book celebrates the spirit of resistance and the total commitment to the freedom of peoples.
