Scum Of The Earth by Arthur Koestler
A compact memoir recounting the author’s experience as a displaced intellectual fleeing Nazi-dominated Europe, arrested and held by French authorities as an ‘enemy alien,’ where he faces the humiliations, hardships and small solidarities of internment; blending vivid scenes of camp life and encounters with fellow refugees with sharp reflections on fear, bureaucracy, exile and the moral contradictions of wartime society as he struggles to survive and seek refuge.
