From the Author’s Preface and Acknowledgements:
The research for this study was carried out in the United States, France and Algeria, and it is based largely on works written by and about Frantz Fanon, on interviews held with members of his family and with friends and political associates, and on a part of the massive literature devoted to the Algerian Revolution. Without the help of numerous Algerians, both friends and officials, and I include residents of Algeria among them, there is little doubt that I would have learned considerably less and seen less of the people and places that were important to this study. There is a good deal left undone, though, notably a meeting with Mrs. Josie Fanon, who, in spite of attempts to meet, made it clear that she had had a surfeit of Fanon followers. More accessible were Mr. and Mrs. Joby Fanon, Dr. and Mrs. Françoise Tosquelles, Maître Marcel Manville, and the journalists, writers, and friends who made these and other interviews possible and who were often themselves valuable sources of information.
