THEY TRIED TO BREAK ME
The System vs. The Human Spirit
This is not a memoir. This is resistance.
Available in eBook & Paperback
About the Book
They Tried to Break Me is not just a memoir. It’s a resistance manual—charting an unflinching path through the cold machinery that destroys lives through silence, complicity, and “procedure.”
- Testimony of one man’s battle against injustice—and his relentless endurance.
- A raw exposé of how institutions replace accountability with cold procedure.
- Practical strategies for survivors to protect their sanity, navigate legal hell, and reclaim their lives.
About the Author
My name is Marius Anton. I am a survivor, a father, and now an author who refused to be erased. They Tried to Break Me was born out of years of injustice, imprisonment, and silence — transformed into resistance and testimony.
I wrote this book not just to tell my story, but to give a voice to every person who has been silenced by false allegations and broken systems. It is my blueprint for survival, sanity, and reclamation — and a promise to my son that truth cannot be buried forever.
“This is not a memoir. This is resistance.”
