After the liberation of France, Albert Camus served as the editor of the Parisian daily newspaper Combat.1
Combat had originated as a clandestine Resistance newssheet, and under Camus's leadership during the immediate post-Liberation period, it maintained an independent left-wing position grounded in the ideals of truth and justice. Camus eventually severed his connection with the publication in 1947 due to his growing disillusionment with the political expediency of both the Left and the Right.12
