Excerpt from Sketches of Algeria During the Kabyle War Meeting one day with a French oficer of some standing, whom I had previously known in the East during the Russian campaign, I received an in vitation to him in Algeria, whither he was ordered. An expedition for the final subjugation of Kabylia was talked of. Here then was an op portunity, such as I had long sought for, and might never meet with But permission had to be obtained from the French Minister at War, and it was in vain I solicited that permission, though backed by the recommendation of Lord Cowley and the British Embassy. How I besieged Marshal Vaillant, and how I totally failed in moving him to grant me permission to accompany the French invading column, - how, through the kindness of the Chief of the Staff in Algeria, I partially succeeded, would afford little interest to the reader.

Thoroughly sharp and honest treatment of a brutal conflict.The Algerian War (1954-1962) was a savage colonial war, killing an estimated one million Muslim Algerians and expelling the same number of European settlers from their homes. It was to cause the fall of six French prime minsters and the collapse of the Fourth Repbulic. It came close to bringing down de Gaulle and - twice - to plunging France into civil war.The story told here contains heroism and tragedy, and poses issues of enduring relevance beyond the confines of either geography or time. Horne writes with the extreme intelligence and perspicacity that are his trademarks.

A “lucid and readable” history of epic proportions on the devastating French-Algerian war, including unforgettable photographs and an updated introduction (The New York Times Book Review) The Algerian War lasted from 1954 to 1962. It brought down six French governments, led to the collapse of the Fourth Republic, returned de Gaulle to power, and came close to provoking a civil war on French soil. More than a million Muslim Algerians died in the conflict and as many European settlers were driven into exile. Above all, the war was marked by an unholy marriage of revolutionary terror and repressive torture. Nearly a half century has passed since this savagely fought war ended in Algeria’s independence, and yet—as Alistair Horne argues in his new preface to his now-classic work of history—its repercussions continue to be felt not only in Algeria and France, but throughout the world. Indeed from today’s vantage point the Algerian War looks like a full-dress rehearsal for the sort of amorphous struggle that convulsed the Balkans in the 1990s and that now ravages the Middle East, from Beirut to Baghdad—struggles in which questions of religion, nationalism, imperialism, and terrorism take on a new and increasingly lethal intensity. A Savage War of Peace is the definitive history of the Algerian War, a book that brings that terrible and complicated struggle to life with intelligence, assurance, and unflagging momentum. It is essential reading for our own violent times as well as a lasting monument to the historian’s art.

Excerpt from Aspects of Algeria: Historical Political Colonial IN order to avoid charging the text I append to this volume a list of books which includes the majority of those I have consulted and Whose authority I have quoted in the course of this brief analysis of historical and contemporary conditions in Algeria. To several of their authors - in parti cular Professor A. Le Chatelier of the College de France and Syed Ameer Ali - I owe cordial thanks for much valuable advice. With regard to the spelling of Arabic words all names and geo graphical terms are copied from the statistics and maps compiled by the government-general of Algeria, to whose officials, both civil and military, my gratitude is also due for invariable courtesy and assistance.

In this massive work, Joseph J. Williams documents the Hebraic practices, customs, and beliefs, which he found among the people of Jamaica and the Ashanti of West Africa. He initially examines the close relationship between the Jamaican and the Ashanti cultures and the folk beliefs. He then studies the language and culture of the Ashanti (of whom many Jamaicans have descended) by comparing them to well known and established Hebraic traditions. William's findings suggest stunning similarities. And, he challenges the reader by concluding that Hebraic traditions must have swept across "negro Africa" and left its influence "among the various tribes." While Williams presents a strong case, his evidence, including hundreds of quoted sources, also builds a strong case for the reverse--that an indigenous, continent-wide belief system among African people stands at the very root of Hebrew culture and Western religion. First published in 1931 and long out-of-print, today's reader will find Hebrewisms a valuable resource for understanding the cultural unity of African people.

Excerpt from Sketches of Algiers: Political, Historical, and Civil; Containing an Account of the Geography, Population, Government, Revenues, Commerce, Agriculture, Arts, Civil Institution, Tribes, Manners, Languages, and Recent Political History of That Country The author claims the indulgence of the public: for the unavoidable egotism that appears in this narrative. He is the only person existing, who could trace it correctly being a principal actor in the scenes narrated, circum stances compel him to be the commentator of his own actions; but though obliged to speak of himself, it is al ways as the national representative, whose credit here, whatever it may be, must ever entirely depend upon the respect, which the power and honest policy of the United States inspire.
