  A very intense piece of writing. The main character awaits death in a prison cell, as many of Stalin's 'enemies' did before being paraded before the public in a 'Show Trial'. During this period he struggles to come to terms with all that has happened to him. To find an answer to the nightmare that has suddenly befallen him. Koestler writes from experience - he knew what it was like to wait in a death cell when in prison in Spain.
