Exploring the motivations behind intellectuals' political engagement, the book examines five prominent figures from France between 1920 and 1945. Covering a spectrum from communism to fascism, it analyzes the lives and thoughts of Paul Nizan, Jean-Paul Sartre, Emmanuel Mounier, Julien Benda, and Robert Brasillach. Through their diverse responses to the social, political, and economic tensions of the interwar period, the author sheds light on the complexities of intellectual involvement in politics.
