Régis Debray is one of France's leading intellectuals, whose life has intersected with key moments of the twentieth century.
In this explosive memoir, Debray recounts his journey from Louis Althusser and the Parisian lecture theatres, to Cuba and the revolution of the 1960s. From Debray's torture and imprisonment in Bolivia while in search of Che Guevara, to the corridors of power in the Elysée Palace-where he served as advisor to President Mitterrand-Praised Be Our Lords is an account of an extraordinary life and an exploration of the mechanisms of political passion.
