Description
The second part of the history of one of the most treacherous wars of the last century, which became a precursor to conflicts with contemporary Islamists from Hamas, Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or the Islamic State, captures the period of 1957-1958, when the French army waged fierce battles against Algerian mujahideen in the Atlas Mountains, the desert wastelands of the Sahara, and on the borders with Morocco and Tunisia. It reveals the behind-the-scenes of sophisticated intelligence games, introduces one of the most significant theorists of counterinsurgency warfare, depicts the fates of indigenous allies of the French, captures the environment of political intrigues, and brings to light the most significant battles of this period at Timimoun, Souk Ahras, and many others.
