The Madness of Truth—A Tale of Two Suns

The land is savage and savagery is in the hearts of the men. The rebels burn farms and crops, cut telephone poles, slaughter the herds, assassinate, and castrate. The French army does the same.

—Jean-Luc Tahon, “En ‘pacifiant’ l’Algérie. 1955”20

Today, the blinding sun of torture is at its zenith and illuminates the whole country; in this light, there is no laughter that does not sound false, no fact that is not made up to conceal anger or fear, no act that does not betray our disgust and complicity. Whenever two French people meet now, there is a dead body between them. In fact, did I say one?…

—Jean-Paul Sartre, preface to The Wretched of the Earth
