The Rebel is an essay exploring the logical crime which arises from out of revolution in an age of nihilism. The most common feature of most revolutions since 1789 has been the imposition of state terrorsim in defence of the revolution. This logic inevitably leads to mass murder; the death camp and the gulag, the guillotine and the gas chamber.
The Rebel is less abstract than
The Myth of Sisyphus, and you'll probably find it an easier read. Like I did.
