Herbert Luethy

This month the controversial problem of Algeria is once again to come before the United Nations General Assembly for discussion. To give its readers an impartial analysis of a most complex question, the Atlantic has turned to HERBERT LUETHY, an acknowledged authority on French colonial problems. Mr. Luethy is a former Paris correspondent for the Swiss newspaper, Die Tat, and the author of Frankreichs Uhren Gehen Anders, which appeared in an American translation last year under the title France Against Herself (Frederick Praeger).

A native of Switzerland and a political observer of growing reputation, HERBERT LUETHY has lived since the end of the war in Paris, where he has served as special correspondent for the Swiss newspaper, Die Tat, and the Berlin magazine, Der Monat. He is the author of Frankreichs Uhren Gehen Anders, which appeared in an American translation last year under the title France Against Herself (Frederick Praeger). It is considered be the best book written about France in the last ten years.
