"In the late 1930s and 1940s, with the fall of much of Europe first to the Nazis and then to the Soviets, the end of history seemed real, often imminent. In the 1950s and the early 1960s, with Cold War tension and the threat of nuclear holocaust, the apocalypse seemed equally real, in some ways more imminent. Arthur Koestler, because of his Middle European Jewish background, his refugee situation, and his personality, felt the apocalyptic nature of his times with particular intensity, and for a generation of his life, from his first book in English in 1937 to his farewell to political literature in 1955, he chose to express himself mainly in apocalyptic and prophetic modes." ---- from the Introduction.
