This book tell of the police suppression of a worker's strike that ended in deaths and firearm wounds. The text is a sober chronicle of the events, accompanied by two section of photographs. The pictures are documentary and show what the cameras have succeeded in capturing: pools of blood on the ground, barricades, groups of policemen, bullet marks on the walls, and a mass funeral.
The four dead workers have weighed heavily on the authors of the book, who have felt the shame of others as their own. They do not give any personal interpretation of the events, they limit themselves to recounting them, to reconstructing the process that led to that tragic 3rd March.
