Does anyone know any good links to criticisms and analyses of this book?

Can anyone give me information on how Sartre tried to bring together existential and Marxist ideas? And how successful or unsuccessful they were?

------------------------------------------------

most of the opposition towards Sartre within the Marxist Camp has come from orthodox and Structuralist "marxists. the Marxists Humanists in general have been alot more acepting. you should look into the "praxis group" which where Eastern bloc marxist humanists who from what i can tell find common ground between the two schools of thought.
