Description
It’s hard to convey the general public have an effect on of France’s war to handle her colonial grip on Algeria; yet within the overdue 1950s this ugly conflict dominated Europe’s media to just about the similar extent as would Vietnam ten years later. It brought France to the very verge of military coup d’etat; it destroyed thousands of careers; bitterly divided the French military and political classes for a generation; and sent hundreds of thousands of European settler families into incessantly ruinous exile. This title main points the history, organisation, equipment and uniforms of the forces involved within the Algerian War (1954-1962).
