Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression. Some edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly rubbed, some slight browning to spine and back jacket. Not price clipped (10s 6d), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy for its age. 96pp. 'The Question' is the book that opened the torture debate in France during Algeria's war of independence and was the first book since the eighteenth century to be banned by the French government for political reasons. At the time of his arrest by French paratroopers during the Battle of Algiers in June of 1957, Henri Alleg (1921-2013), was a Jewish French journalist who supported Algerian independence. He was interrogated for one month. During this imprisonment, Alleg was questioned under torture, with unbelievable brutality and sadism. 'The Question' is Alleg's profoundly moving account of that month and of his triumph over his torturers. Jean-Paul Sartre's preface remains a relevant commentary on the moral and political effects of torture on both the victim and perpetrator.
