...post-Iran situation, the risks of doing nothing were greater." Editorialized London's Daily Telegraph: "A peace treaty between [Egypt and Israel] will have a tremendous potential."

By the age of 35 he was a candidate for the Nobel; when he was 40 Camus found that his work, along with George Orwell's and Arthur Koestler's, was one of the rallying points for Europe's non-Communist left. His loathing for totalitarianism brought him into sharp conflict with Sartre, then in lockstep with the Stalinist party line. Much was made of Camus's ambiguous feelings about Algeria: the anti-imperialist could neither condone terrorism nor endorse France's colonial policies...
