Ordeal In Algeria is a non-fiction book written by Richard Brace, which provides a detailed account of the Algerian War of Independence, fought between France and Algeria from 1954 to 1962. The book is based on the author's own experiences as a journalist in Algeria during the conflict.The book begins by providing a historical background of Algeria, its colonization by France, and the subsequent rise of the nationalist movement seeking independence. The author then describes the events that led to the outbreak of the war, including the failure of peaceful negotiations and the formation of the National Liberation Front (FLN).The book goes on to describe the brutal tactics employed by both sides during the war, including the use of torture and terrorism. The author provides a detailed account of the Battle of Algiers, a key turning point in the conflict, and the subsequent French military campaign to quell the insurgency.Throughout the book, the author provides insights into the complex political and social dynamics of the conflict, including the role of the French military and government, the FLN's struggle for legitimacy, and the impact of the war on the Algerian population.Overall, Ordeal In Algeria is a gripping and informative account of a pivotal moment in Algerian and French history, offering a nuanced perspective on the complex issues and events that shaped the conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
