Description

This book contains one of the most intense and succinct narratives of a person who has endured torture. Something similar has not been written in a long time.

The Guardian, 6/12/1969

The Human Guards brilliantly illustrate the noisy and foolish barbarity of the torture he suffered. Korovesis writes exceptionally well. The Human Guards belongs to the classics of interrogation and is worthy of comparison to Alex Weissberg's Conspiracy of Silence.

TLS, 7/5/1970

Since the time of Alleg's Interrogation and London's Confession, we haven't read anything as shocking. May the author accept our thanks.

Le Monde, 26/11/1969

His testimony, written in a calm manner, without hatred, distanced, like Alleg's Interrogation; and even more so because he is ruthless with himself and sometimes writes with an underlying humor.

France-Soir, 21/1/1970

    The book "Human Guards" by Periklis Korovesis is a shocking testimony of the torture he and other political prisoners endured during the dictatorship of the Colonels in Greece. With a simple, direct style and without exaggeration, the author records the barbarity of the regime, making the work not only a personal confession but also an important historical document. "Human Guards" is a book that shocks, awakens, and reminds us of the importance of memory and resistance against all forms of oppression.

    Nice book that immerses you directly into the whole story it narrates. It shows you from within the experience of the people who went through the tortures of the Junta but also the contempt they received from the Left.
