Description

The God That Failed by Richard Howard Stafford Crossman A collection of essays by six influential writers who turned against communism, offering insight into the personal and intellectual struggles that led to their disillusionment. These authors, including André Gide, Arthur Koestler, and Louis Fischer, share their experiences of searching for a better world through communism, only to find themselves repelled by its ideology. Their stories illustrate the complexities of left-wing thought in the 20th century. A new foreword by David Engerman provides essential context, tracing the book's origins, impact, and ongoing influence on public discourse today.
