La Torture dans la République

Pierre Vidal-Naquet, Éditions de Minuit, 1998, Coll. Bfm - Limoges

Pierre Vidal-Naquet, militant and historian, published this book with Editions de Minuit as a response to the sanitized memoirs of General Massu, La Vraie Bataille d’Alger (1971). He described the system that made torture and the State’s arbitrary decisions possible at a time when, even then, the memory of the Algerian war had been repressed. In his book, Pierre Vidal-Naquet denounced Paul Aussaresses’ abuse of power without naming him.
