Mesrine had written it while he was imprisoned in the high security quarters of the Fresnes and Santé prisons. Three original legal documents accompany the book, including a surprising case between Mesrine and Desproges for a story of Defamation. And a poster designed by Parisian Autonomists in the 1980s denouncing the crime of the French State accused of having assassinated Mesrine during his arrest at Porte de Clignancourt in November 1979. Rare set.
