About This Item
Viking, 1977. Hardback. Very Good. VERY GOOD, in very good dust jacket. Small repaired tear on back. Clean in text. Binding is tight and square. Gently read. . . . . . . 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 Republic. 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.
