Synopsis
At the beginning of the Second World War, Koestler was living in the South of France working on Darkness at Noon. After retreating to Paris he was imprisoned by the French as an undesirable alien, even though he had been a respected crusader against fascism. A few years ago we were called the defenders of liberty - now we have become the scum of the earth. He was luckier, though, than many innocent refugees who were handed over to the Nazis for torture or execution. Scum of the Earth is more than the story of Koestlers survival among these horrors: it is also a description of what happens when a nation loses its honour and pride.
