Pacification in Algeria - 1956-1958 (Paperback)

As viewers of Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers will attest, and as Bruce Hoffman points out in his foreword to this new edition of Pacification in Algeria: 1956-1958, the French experience in Algeria's war of independence provides astonishing relevance to the U.S. occupation in Iraq and the war on terrorism. In this volume, originally published in 1963, David Galula recounts his experiences in Algeria at the height of the rebellion, and presents his theories on counterinsurgency and pacification. He confronts the larger political, psychological, and military aspects of the Algerian war, and provides a context for present-day counterinsurgency operations. This groundbreaking work, now declassified, retains its impact and relevance, presenting successful approaches to predicting, managing, and resolving insurgent and guerilla conflict.
