Description
The Question by Henri Alleg In June 1957, French paratroopers arrested Henri Alleg, a journalist who supported Algerian independence. Alleg was interrogated for one month under torture, an experience that profoundly impacted him. This account of his imprisonment is a powerful exploration of the effects of torture on both victim and perpetrator. Alleg's story is a deeply personal and moving one, marked by unimaginable brutality and sadism. The Question remains a relevant commentary on the moral and political implications of such treatment. A new edition, featuring an introduction by James D. Le Sueur and foreword by Ellen Ray, brings this important work to a wider audience. First published in 1958, The Question has been banned for political reasons and is now available again in the United States.
