Based on meticulous research, Giovanni Catelli builds a compelling case that the 46-year-old French Algerian Nobel laureate was the victim of premeditated murder: he was silenced by the KGB. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Russians had a motive: Camus had campaigned tirelessly against the Soviet crushing of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, and vociferously supported the awarding of the Nobel Prize to the dissident novelist Boris Pasternak, which enraged Moscow. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSixty years after Camus' death, Catelli takes us back to a murky period in the Cold War. He probes the relationship between Camus and Pasternak, the fraught publication of \u003cem\u003eDoctor Zhivago\u003c\/em\u003e, the penetration of France by Soviet spies, and the high price paid by those throughout Europe who resisted the USSR.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiovanni Catelli is a writer and poet, and an expert on cultural history behind the Iron Curtain.
