The Invention of Decolonization: The Algerian War and the Remaking of France

First three chapters are very interesting, thats all really. The author has no understanding of what this conflict was about.I felt this book was written for a left French audience to be honest. Disappointed. I returned the book to Amazon.

This work made a big splash when it was published. Everyone in the field agreed it would make an impact on everyone's understanding of events surrounding that period in time... the when, why and how the French government decided to pull out of Algeria after 130 years of colonization. It remains a very important contribution to the field, essential reading.

good

I grew up in France during these years but I had to read this book to understand what had happened

Very good.
