A particularly vicious and bloody civil war has racked Algeria for
a decade. Amnesty International notes that since 1992, in a
population of 28 million, 80,000 people have been reported killed,
and the actual total is almost certainly higher. This terrible war
overshadows Algeria's long and complex history and its prominence
on the world economic stage -- second in size among African
nations, Algeria has the longest Mediterranean coastline and
contains the world's fifth-largest natural gas reserves.
Algeria, 1830-2000 is a comprehensive narrative history of the
country. Benjamin Stora, widely recognized as the leading expert on
Algeria, presents the story of this turbulent area from the start
of formal French colonialism in the early nineteenth century,
through the prolonged war for independence in the latter 1950s, to
the internal strife of the present day.
This book adapts and updates three short volumes published
originally in French by La Decouverte. For this English edition,
Stora has written a new introductory chapter on Algeria's colonial
period (1830-1954) and has revised the final section to bring the
volume up to date.
