Publisher's Synopsis
Salvador Puig Antich, a Catalan anarchist and member of the anticapitalist group MIL, was executed by garrote vil in 1974, one of the last victims of the Franco regime. Together with his comrades, he dedicated his life to the struggle against the fascist dictatorship and supported the wildcat strike movement that was sweeping Spain at the time. Since then, democrats and nationalists have tried to co-opt his memory, but his struggle was against capitalism and oppression in all its forms. This book tells the story of his life and death, in the words of his sisters, his friends, his comrades, and in his own words, while also relating the story of a movement that brought down the world's longest lasting fascist dictatorship.
