Account written by Julius Fučík (1903-43), a Czechoslovak journalist, active member of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, and part of the forefront of anti-Nazi resistance. Fučík was imprisoned, tortured, and executed by the Nazis. The present book, composed while incarcerated, was smuggled out by a sympathetic prison guard.
