...seemed motivated more by fear of Red China's getting ahead of him in revolutionary militancy than by any devotion to the rebel F.L.N. (until recently, he valued his French connections more).

Red China's Premier Chou En-lai gleefully told Ferhat Abbas: "The only victory at Melun was its failure.

There he had the frightfully uncomfortble experience of listening to them expound the notion of the inherent inefficiency of the parliamentary system. They exhibited a peculiar combination of Marxist-Leninist contempt for parliamentarianism as a bourgeois facade with the impatient...
