Jean Durantin presents the long-awaited history of the French Naval
Special Forces unit Commando de Penfentenyo enlisted in the
Algerian battles from 1954 to 1962. Richly documented with over
1,000 colour photographs and original documents, Durantin provides
the entire history of the marine commando during this campaign and
makes reference to specific commandos such as"Yatagan." The
Algerian War was a fiercely fought conflict between French and
Algerians forces that resulted in the creation of the independent
state of Algeria. Guerilla warfare, terrorism and torture were all
components of this hard won campaign, that still haunt Algerian and
French relations today. French Language
