This ambitious survey draws together the two major wars of
decolonization fought by France in Indochina and Algeria (as well
as the lesser but far from insignificant military operations in
Madagascar, Tunisia and Morocco) into a single integrated account.
It examines traditional French attitudes to empire, and how these
changed under the pressure of events; the military operations
themselves; the collapse of the Fourth Republic and the return of
de Gaulle; and the final drama of French withdrawal from Algeria
and the 'ethnic cleansing' of its European settler population.
