"The invincible power is that of the people: it is the power of the organized people.

The task is to organize this power; the skill is to keep this power standing every day with a conscious awareness."

With the preface by Doğan Avcıoğul. Selected writings published in Cumhuriyet newspaper between 1977-80, chosen by himself. Sometimes heroic Ecevit himself and CHP; occasionally the Ecevit-led CHP-MSP; sometimes governments of Demirel, Türkeş, Erbakan, Feyzioğlu in the 'Nationalist Front' ruling in power. Terrorism and bloodshed prevail. Assassination attempts on Ecevit, bloody May 1st, March 16th, incidents in Kahramanmaraş, Çorum... Individual murders such as Abdi İpekçi, Ümit Doğanay, Cavit Orhan Tütengil, and many others… And corruption, theft... The bloody, dirty, painful milestones on the road to the September 12th coup. The prelude, script, and even the shooting of the film we are watching today, with its counter-guerrilla and 'gang,' are traced back to that era…
