This book provides a new analysis of the contested history of one
of the most violent wars of decolonisation of the twentieth century
- the Algerian War/ the Algerian Revolution between 1954 and 1962.
It brings together an engaging account of its origins, course and
legacies with an incisive examination of how interpretations of the
conflict have shifted and why it continues to provoke intense
debate. Locating the war in a century-long timeframe stretching
from 1914 to the present, it multiplies the perspectives from which
events can be seen. The pronouncements of politicians are explored
alongside the testimony of rural women who provided logistical
support for guerrillas in the National Liberation Front. The
broader context of decolonisation and the Cold War is considered
alongside the experiences of colonised men serving in the French
army. Unpacking the historiography of the end of a colonial empire,
the rise of anti-colonial nationalism and their post-colonial
aftermaths, it provides an accessible insight into how history is
written.
