The Algerian Memoirs: Days of Hope and Combat (Seagull Books - The Africa List)
"Henri Alleg has saved us from despair and shame because he is a victim himself and he has conquered torture.... The victim saves us in making us discover, as he discovered himself, that we have the ability and duty to undergo anything." (Jean-Paul Sartre) "[A] noble and in a sense ennobling book, the dominant impression it leaves is one of a progressive and finally an almost total degradation, a degradation both of persons - except for the tortured, the outlawed - and of social institutions. The Question is far more than an account of atrocities, however spectacular." (Nation, on The Question)"
