First edition, one of 17 numbered copies on Ghaldwill, the only deluxe copies. Preface by Laurent Schwartz. Maurice Audin, French mathematician and member of the Algerian Communist Party, was arrested during the Battle of Algiers on June 11, 1957 and disappeared without his body ever being found. While the French army claimed he had escaped, several prominent figures including Pierre Vidal-Naquet protested and denounced his martyrdom after he was certainly tortured by the French army, with General Aussaresses much later acknowledging having given the order to kill Maurice Audin. Handsome and rare copy retaining its publisher's wraparound band (which has a lack): "Massu et ses complices"..
