This short book considers a short (about thirty-seven page) speech given by the existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) in 1945.

Like him or not, Sartre is a great thinker who is worth considering even if you may reject some or all...

They silenced you because they feared what would happen if you ever found your voice. You weren’t born to whisper in warfare—you were created to roar.
