More copies of this ISBN:Deserter from Death: Dispatches from Western Europe 1950-2000by Daniel Singer
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A "deserter from death," Polish-born Daniel Singer narrowly escaped the Holocaust to become one of the left's leading social and political commentators of our time. Deserter from Death collects Singer's writing, from when he was a young correspondent for The Economist to his years at The Nation. Much of the material will be new (and a revelation) to Singer's followers, including his coverage of the Algerian crisis in the late fifties and the effervescent events of May '68. Deserter from Death is a social history of the past half-century, a memorial to one of our great correspondents, and a reminder of what we lost when we lost Daniel Singer. Showcasing Singer's writing over the course of his long and illustrious career, this collection is introduced by his old friend, the great polymath and intellectual George Steiner. Book News Annotation:This book collects samples of the political journalism of the late

Gaulle's rise to national power in France, the colonial war in
Algiers, the Paris 1968 student and worker rebellions, and the
antiglobalization politics of the 1990s.
