It started first with Camus’ resistance to all forms of totalitarianism – he fought Nazism and flatly opposed Marxism. Sartre’s choice, after the public denunciations of Soviet camps was silence. A war of words between the two, started by a book of essays of Camus, attacked in Sartre’s review “Les Temps Modernes” ended with a long letter of Sartre whose beginning was: ''My dear Camus, our friendship was not easy, but I shall miss it.''
The public dispute between the two continued during the war in Algeria, whose independence never been accepted by Camus. He rejected the violence of the FLN , even supporting the Muslim rights. At the end, he preferred the public silence.
