"Letizia Battaglia's story, her vision of Sicily, and her fight for justice against the mafia as revealed in this biographical monograph are as stunning as they are heroic. This W.

After years of risking her own life to fight for the life of the trouble city of Palermo - as a photographer, publisher, deputy council-woman, ecological activist, defender of women's rights, defender of human rights - Battaglia continues the battle with the passion, intelligence, and unique perspective for which she is known. Yet her battle is not motivated by hatred, but rather by compassion and a profound sense of justice..."
