France and the Algerian War, 1954-62: Strategy, Operations and Diplomacy

Front Cover
Martin S. Alexander, John F. V. Keiger
Psychology Press, 2002 - History - 213 pages
The French Army's war in Algeria has always aroused passions. This book does not whitewash the atrocities committed by both sides; rather it focuses on the conflict itself, a perspective assisted by the French republic's official admission in 1999 that what happened in Algeria was indeed a war.
