The story of the discovery of supersymmetry, mainly in the words of people who participated. It combines anecdotal descriptions and personal reminiscences with more technical accounts of the trailblazers, covering the birth of the theory and its first years - the origin of the idea, four-dimensional field theory realization, and supergravity. The eyewitnesses convey the drama of one of the deepest discoveries in theoretical physics in the 20th century.
