On 21 October 1971 Margrit Schiller was arrested and imprisoned by the German government first for two years and then for another five, for a murder she did not commit. This book is Margrit's own story of political radicalisation in the 1960s, her integration into the German urban guerrilla group (Baader Meinhof) before her arrest, the terror of solitary confinement, and the mysterious deaths of four of her colleagues in prison.
