Ce livre est le r�cit d'une longue lutte contre la peine de mort. Il commence au jour de l'ex�cution de Claude Buffet et de Roger Bontems, le 24 novembre 1972, et s'ach�ve avec le vote de l'abolition, le 30 septembre 1981.
Depuis lors, l'abolition s'est �tendue � la majorit� des �tats dans le monde. Elle est d�sormais la loi de l'Europe enti�re. Elle marque un progr�s irr�versible de l'humanit� sur ses peurs, ses angoisses, sa violence.
� consid�rer cependant les ex�cutions pratiqu�es aux �tats-Unis, en Chine, en Iran et dans de nombreux autres pays, le combat contre la peine de mort est loin d'�tre achev�. Puisse l'�vocation de ce qui advint en France servir la grande cause de l'abolition universelle.
