Description

Presents Albert Camus' World War II resistance and early postwar writings published in "Combat". These 165 articles and editorials show how Camus' thinking evolved from support of a revolutionary transformation of postwar society to a wariness of the radical left alongside his longstanding strident opposition to the reactionary right.

Praise for the French edition: "A wonderful book. In 1944 Camus had already published The Stranger and The Myth of Sisyphus. But it was his daily editorials in the resistance newspaper Combat that made him famous, and he emerged from the war as a moral and intellectual leader of postwar France. -- Alice Kaplan, Duke University, author of "The Collaborator: The Trial and Execution of Robert Brasillach"
