Description

A particularly vicious and bloody civil war has racked Algeria for a decade. Amnesty International notes that since 1992, in a population of 28 million, 80,000 people have been reported killed, and the real total is almost for sure higher. This terrible war overshadows Algeria’s long and complex history and its prominence at the world economic stage―second in size among African nations, Algeria has the longest Mediterranean coastline and comprises the world’s fifth-largest natural gas reserves. Algeria, 1830-2000 is a comprehensive narrative history of the country. Benjamin Stora, widely known as the leading expert on Algeria, presents the story of this turbulent area from the start of formal French colonialism within the early nineteenth century, during the prolonged war for independence within the latter 1950s, to the internal strife of the current day. This book adapts and updates three short volumes published at the start in French by La Découverte. For this English edition, Stora has written a new introductory chapter on Algeria’s colonial period (1830-1954) and has revised the final section to bring the volume up to the moment.
