In this third part of his autobiography, Arthur Koestler narrates the first steps of his militancy, from his incorporation into grassroots organizations to his street fights against the Nazis. Through his personal experiences, Koestler builds a valuable historical testimony about the last spring of the Weimar Republic, just before its fall to the Hitler offensive. This book offers an intimate and reflective look at a crucial period in European history, through the eyes of a protagonist involved in the events.
