The primary source material used by Courrière — particularly in his interviews with such F.L.N. leaders as the late Belkacem Krim — is irreplaceable. On the other hand, he is sharply criticised in contemporary Algeria for relying excessively on the version of events given by Krim and other latterday opponents of the Boumedienne regime, and has been accused by pieds noirs of undue hardness to their cause.

QUESTION: What specific biases might Krim's accounts carry as a later opponent of Boumedienne, and how do they color the Algerian war narrative?
