About this title: The Algerian War (1954-1962) was a savage colonial war, killing an estimated 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 and 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 sometimes proffers ridiculously Orientalist observations, but his breadth of knowledge is impressive and the history of which he writes is fascinating."
The best -- and most disturbing -- part of this book is the author's description of the rise of a violent right-wing movement out of Algeria's white settlers and disgruntled members of the army in the closing days of the war."
"I really loved this book, to the point where I would list it as among my favorites. If you enjoy post-colonial history, Algeria, France, etc. you will enjoy this book."
