Recensione

'The book urges the French, and everyone else, to recapture the wartime spirit of resistance to the Nazis by rejecting the "insolent, selfish" power of money and markets and by defending the social "values of modern democracy".' --Independent

'Indignez-Vous! is creating the sort of stir in France Emile Zola did in 1898, when he published J'Accuse!' --The National Post

'Like a song you hum or a film you recommend to friends, Indignez-Vous! crystallises the spirit of the time. To buy it is a militant act, a gesture towards community and participation in a collective emotion.' --Libération

From a German prisoner of war camp, he escaped to join Charles de Gaulle's Free French in London. On his return to organise the Resistance in France, he was captured, tortured and sent to concentration camps. He survived to work after the war on drafting the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. He died in February 2013, aged ninety-five.
