With the summer of 2012 marking half a century of independence for
Algeria, the Algerian War has been brought into discussions in
France once more, where parallels between the past and present are
revealed. This analysis takes an in-depth look at the war from 1954
to 1962 and the response from the French left. Drawing from
documents and interviews, it offers a full account of not only the
role of the revolutionary left in giving political and practical
solidarity to the Algerian liberation struggle, but also that of
the Trotskyists during that period. Including a section on how the
war has been reflected in fiction, this volume is sure to interest
academics across various fields.

long-awaited introduction to him - his historical significance, his
ideas and his practice in revolutionary France.
