The Left Bank: Writers, Artists, and Politics from the Popular Front to the Cold War
Very thorough book on the political leanings of writers of the left bank of Paris. They wielded enormous influence on politics between the world wars culminating in a writing war between the fascist minority and the more common communist. A large section of the writer's community was heavily under the influence of Stalin and there was a large denial of the atrocities that occurred. It seemed to me that the intellectuals were much less about communist doctrine and more against fascist and capitalist exploitation. Alas, after the war they found themselves politically inconsequential outside of France. It was the end of France as the intellectual center of the universe.
