| How did the Algerian War of Independence alter the course of French colonialism and impact global decolonization efforts? This book explores the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962), a brutal conflict between France and the National Liberation Front (FLN) seeking independence for Algeria. The narrative examines the causes of the war, including Algeria’s long history of French colonial rule and the rise of nationalist movements. It discusses the key battles, strategies, and brutal tactics used by both the French military and the FLN, as well as the human rights abuses and atrocities committed on both sides. By analyzing the war’s outcome, including the Evian Accords and the eventual independence of Algeria, the book highlights how the war influenced the broader process of decolonization in Africa and the Middle East, and the lasting impact of the war on French politics and Algerian society. |
