Jean Meckert
Jean Meckert, aka Jean or John Amila, (1910 — 1995 March 15) was a libertarian novelist and antimilitarist.
In 1971, his novel La vierge et le taureau denounced military misdeeds in the South Pacific (atomic and bacteriological experiments). Jean Amila was violently attacked, possibly by government agents, and left for dead. He suffered amnesia afterwards, regaining his memory, little by little, thanks to his continued writing.
His books are all stamped with his antimilitarist/anarchist spirit, tackling the army, the church, the family and the State, and often include characters who are spontaneously libertarian, their anarchism deep and visceral.
" I do not know if I am an anarchist, but I know the ideas. My father was an anarchist and a deserter…" — "le monde libertaire," 1987 December 3
