**NOBEL PRIZE WINNER - Twenty-three political essays that focus on the
victims of history, from the fallen maquis of the French Resistance to
the casualties of the Cold War.

In the speech he gave upon accepting the Nobel Prize for Literature in
1957, Albert Camus said that a writer "cannot serve today those who make
history; he must serve those who are subject to it."
Resistance, Rebellion and Death displays Camus' rigorous moral
intelligence addressing issues that range from colonial warfare in
Algeria to the social cancer of capital punishment. But this stirring
book is above all a reflection on the problem of freedom, and, as such,
belongs in the same tradition as the works that gave Camus his
reputation as the conscience of our century: The Stranger, The
Rebel, and The Myth of Sisyphus.
