Description
"This is a fascinating and provocative work, based on amazingly thorough archival research that includes extensive use of previously classified materials. The narrative carries us through the long agony of the Algerian War and offers a keen and judicious analysis of the major parties involved, as well as of the immensely complex diplomatic negotations and of Charles de Gaulle's role in the resolution of the crisis."—David Schalk, author of War and the Ivory Tower: Algeria and Vietnam
