Steffen Hammer takes an honest look back at a life shaped by rebellion and reflection. Growing up in former West Germany, he became a skinhead in his youth, later a musician, and ultimately a lawyer. In his autobiography, he recounts experiences of displacement and exile, family conflicts, violence, music, ideals, and the relentless pursuit of justice. It is the story of a man who does not suppress extreme experiences but embraces them as part of his identity, a man who has learned to live with contradictions. A book about origins, integrity, belonging, and the courage to follow one’s own path. (Ronny Müller)
