The third volume of her acclaimed autobiography.

In this frank account the personalities and ideas of Europes leading artists and intellectuals crowd the pages, from Genet and Leduc to Koestler and Aron, and fresh light is thrown on Sartre's famous quarrel with Camus.

Force of Circumstance is also a record of unflinching commitment in the cold-war politics of the Berlin airlift, Vietnam, Suez, Cuba (which Mme de Beauvoir visited in the springtime of its revolution) and the Algerian liberation struggle.

But above all it exposes with unique insight her most intimate problems and preoccupations - her notoriety in middle age, her affair with Nelson Algren, her unconventional relationship with Sartre ('one undoubted success in my life') and her thoughts on the life and death of herself and her friends.

We based our evaluation of book condition on the following criteria:

New: Just like it sounds. A brand-new, unused, unread copy in perfect condition.

Like New: An apparently unread copy in perfect condition. Dust cover is intact; pages are clean and are not marred by notes or folds of any kind.

 * Very Good: A copy that has been read, but remains in excellent condition. Pages are intact and are not marred by notes or highlighting, but may contain a neat previous owner name. The spine remains undamaged.

 * Good: A copy that has been read, but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact, and the cover is intact. The spine may show signs of wear. Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include "From the library of" labels or previous owner inscriptions.

 * Acceptable: A readable copy. All pages are intact, and the cover is intact (the dust cover may be missing). Pages can include considerable notes--in pen or highlighter--but the notes cannot obscure the text.
