Using newly-discovered documentation from the French military
archives, A History of Violence in the Early Algerian Colony offers
a comprehensive study of the forms of violence adopted by the
French Army in Africa. Its coverage ranges from detailed case
studies of massacres to the question of whether a genocide took
place in Algeria. It begins by asking whether French brutality in
Algeria was a consequence of Europeans mirroring a culture of
atrocities they believed they would find on 'the Barbary Coast',
and goes on to study the manner in which an exterminatory policy
was agreed upon by Ministers, generals and soldiers in the
campaigns of the 1840s.
