THE ALGERIAN WAR THE ALGERIAN REVOLUTION - NATA...

This book provides a new analysis of the contested history of one of the most violent wars of
decolonisation of the twentieth century - the Algerian War  the Algerian Revolution between
1954 and 1962. It brings together an engaging account of its origins  course and legacies with
an incisive examination of how interpretations of the conflict have shifted and why it
continues to provoke intense debate. Locating the war in a century-long timeframe stretching
from 1914 to the present  it multiplies the perspectives from which events can be seen. The
pronouncements of politicians are explored alongside the testimony of rural women who provided
logistical support for guerrillas in the National Liberation Front. The broader context of
decolonisation and the Cold War is considered alongside the experiences of colonised men
serving in the French army. Unpacking the historiography of the end of a colonial empire  the
rise of anti-colonial nationalism and their post-colonial aftermaths  it provides an accessible
insight into how history is written.
