Evidence
With Abbas as the frontispiece, however, a new and seductive appearance of flexibility and softness of approach temporarily cloaked the G.P.R.A. In an interview with the journalist Artur Rosenberg, widely quoted in the West German Press in October, Abbas suggested that the F.L.N. might be prepared to waive its demand for instant recognition of independence as a sine qua non condition for any peace talks, which in the past had proved such an unbridgeable obstacle. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 967 (
