description: « Part of the communist phenomenon of the 20th century begins with the story of a conspiracy, writes Franois Furet in the prologue, and in the very heart of that great conspiracy is the mysterious character Willi Munzenberg. He was a German communist, an anonymous militant who, from his base in Paris in the 1930s, not only coordinated Soviet propaganda throughout Europe, using the banner of antifascism at the same time that Hitler and Stalin planned their shameful alliance, but also managed to attract some of the most brilliant intellectuals of the day, like Hemingway, Malraux, or Aragon, to the cause. The author exposes the complicated web of deceit, manipulation, false trials, and double agents that surrounded M., a dark character who fell in his own trap.
