«Des héros ordinaires» is Eva Joly's essay on corruption with Maria Malagardis, published by Les Arènes in paperback (192 pages, in French).
It brings together testimonies from anonymous people —journalists, police officers, senior officials, bankers, citizens— who in Paris, London, Naples or Sofia exposed corruption and financial manipulation schemes. Confronting power put their lives at risk and turned their story into a lesson in courage and faith that the rules must be the same for everyone.
Originally published in 2009 in Paris; the cover subtitle is «Un livre d'espoir».
For readers interested in real cases of corporate corruption and stories of anonymous people who stood up to power.
