Reviews

"This is a fascinating and provocative work, based on amazingly thorough archival research that includes extensive use of previously classified materials. The narrative carries us through the long agony of the Algerian War and offers a keen and judicious analysis of the major parties involved, as well as of the immensely complex diplomatic negotiations and of Charles de Gaulle's role in the resolution of the crisis. Wall's conclusions are sharp and forceful and should elicit significant debate on both sides of the Atlantic." -David Schalk, author of War and the Ivory Tower: Algeria and Vietnam"
