Leonard Peltier, leader of the AIM (American Indian Movement), has been languishing in American prisons for more than forty years. Accused of the murder of a police officer, he was sentenced to life twice. A trumped-up accusation and, despite all the evidence of his innocence, the gravely ill Peltier is still locked up. Elsa Solal imagined a white journalist who, every day, visits the prisoner and collects his memories on a tape recorder. And it is the whole history of the American Indians which passes through the incredible life of this man whose words command respect. If he holds, it is because he reaches his cell in the outbursts of solidarity and mobilizations around the world for his liberation. A breathtaking, moving novel that gives you the desire for revolt. Peltier is a living Indian standing.
