I read this and Horne's [b:A Savage War of Peace: Algeria, 1954-1962|18242|A Savage War of Peace Algeria, 1954-1962|Alistair Horne|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1386926490s/18242.jpg|19698] concurrently, and I found Horne's book—though twice as long—to be much more rewarding. It is perhaps an unfair comparison, given the difference in scope, but the theme of "conscious agency" was common to both. (
