About this title: Paris is firing all its ammunition into the August night. Against a vast backdrop of water and stone, on both sides of a river awash with history, freedom's barricades are once again being erected. Once again justice must be redeemed with men's blood. Albert Camus (1913-1960) wrote these words in August 1944, as Paris was being liberated from ...

"Hard to read the whole thing at once, obviously, but it's great as something I dive into once a year (when I am about to teach the Stranger), and get impassioned reading his earliest articles. Also, "Neither Victims nor Executioners" is awesome in the later editorials. Revolution! Anti war! Pro activism!"
"This is a great reprisal of published essays that appeared in the underground newspaper Combat, that was published in France during the German occupation. Albert Camus was the editor for many years and there's a strong case that most of the essays in this collection were his. He makes some very important points and expounds on his ideas on democracy and how to define a republic as a democracy or not. As is usual for Camus, he is fearless and never hesitates to stand in a room full of people and tell them exactly where their hypocrisy lies and what to do about it. He was practically the only public voice after the liberation that came out against the policy in Algiers and put France's heels to the fire for pretending at democracy while practicing abusive and rapacious colonialism overseas. This is a great read for our current times. If you've been keeping up with the executive orders coming out of our white-house-of-shame, you'll find these thoughts hits home."
"This is a collection of Camus' writings for the French Resistance newspaper Combat at the end of World War II. These tend to get overlooked in the general Camus cannon, which is a shame because I think they're some of his best writings. It's good to see them all compiled in an English edition, and the book is layed out really well. definitely recommended."
