Macey's richly informative and engaging biography provides the
historical, social and cultural context that is essential for
understanding this passionate and courageous intellectual.
*Washington Post*
A prodigiously researched, absorbing book about the mind and the
passion of a twentieth-century revolutionary.

... stands in a class of its own. It is unmatched in its care and
attention to detail, in its author's knowledge of the multiple
intellectual, cultural and political contexts in which the man
moved
*New Humanist*
Not just a lucid and well-researched account of the man and his
works, it is one of the best books about contemporary history to
have been published in recent years.
*Literary Review*
Invaluable to scholars ... an excellent guide.
*Publishers Weekly*
A valuable and comprehensive introduction to the man and his work.
David Macey is certainly someone who knows Fanon and the context
extremely well and he writes lucidly and informa- tively. For
anyone interested in the Algerian war, colonialism or Fanon
himself, this really is a must-read.

One cannot write about Algeria without reading Fanon's political
works ... [and] Macey explores them brilliantly
