This book is a personal chronicle of a party that united the Catalan struggle for freedom and that bothered both Francoism and certain Spanish anti-Francoism. The PSUC was more than a party: it transcended the schemes of the classic communist organization and has ended up nurturing all the parties of the Catalan spectrum to this day. The CIA contributed to liquidate it. In the 60s, affiliation to CCOO and the Sindicat Democràtic d'Estudiants gave it a lot of strength. And since 1968, with the condemnation of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia and with the participation in the Assemblea de Catalunya, it became a transversal party. In 1990, Antoni Batista traveled to the USA after the story of Sheriff Wyatt Earp, but found the CIA plot against the PSUC. Years later, the assassination of a CIA agent in Barcelona gave him the keys. Everything that is said in this book is true, but a truth not always known. Halfway between personal chronicle and literary journalism, Antoni Batista's book reads like a novel.
