Description

Thoroughly sharp and honest treatment of a brutal conflict.The Algerian War (1954-1962) was a savage colonial war, killing an estimated one million Muslim Algerians and expelling the same number of European settlers from their homes.

It was to cause the fall of six French prime minsters and the collapse of the Fourth Repbulic.

It came close to bringing down de Gaulle and - twice - to plunging France into civil war.The story told here contains heroism and tragedy, and poses issues of enduring relevance beyond the confines of either geography or time.

Horne writes with the extreme intelligence and perspicacity that are his trademarks.
