Gespräch zwischen Partisanen

'Conversation Between Partisans. Correspondence between Carl Schmitt and Rolf Schroers': The writer, publicist and academy director Rolf Schroers (1919-1981) maintained close contact with Carl Schmitt (1888-1985) throughout his life, beginning in 1955. This correspondence, preserved almost in its entirety in 214 letters and response, is an important key to Schmitt's -Theory of the partisan- (1963), which responds directly to Schroers' book -Der Partisan- (1961) and would hardly have been written without Schroers, a prominent representative of the existentialist war generation who helped shape the political discourse of the old Federal Republic and was highly regarded by Carl Schmitt.
