On 7th May1993, the Spanish Justice department awarded the judges Levert and Leloire and also the public prosecutor Stoller for their actions against ETA. The three of them were awarded The Honour Cross of San Raimundo of Peñafort Order. Irritated by this event, Gilles Perrault decided to use his pen to reflect on different close subjects: the Basque conflict, history, nationalism, law, torture, terrorism, armed struggle.... The politically committed author addresses to the judges with an audacious, direct and solid style: "I am writing to you to say that your struggle is lost beforehand".
