A Savage War of Peace: Algeria 1954-1962
[gallery columns="4" orderby="rand"]
Worth the Wait
The book took a while coming but it was worth waiting for. As a story in itself the Algerian conflict is gripping stuff - the wrangles between the leading figures in the resistance movement - the changing attitudes of their external supporters - the political manoeuvring in Paris - the military coup - and more. The author has done a good job covering all of these subjects within the constraints of delivering an overall history of a long conflict.
The book is shocking in places but would grab your attention anyway - if you have even a passing interest in this style of warfare and the politics behind it you will enjoy this book.
