And in these twenty-three political essays, he demonstrates his commitment to history's victims, from the fallen maquis of the French Resistance to the casualties of the Cold War. <i>Resistance, Rebellion, and Death</i> displays Camus's 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: <i>The Stranger</i>, <i>The Rebel</i>, and <i>The Myth of Sisyphus</i>. 14355 book 1960 Resistance, Rebellion and Death: Essays total:388|5:145|4:154|3:80|2:9|1:0| 388 1599 620 27 4 0 false false Tue Jul 21 11:24:41 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 11:44:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 true false Wed Nov 12 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 11 09:59:44 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 16 18:56:55 -0800 2008
