Algeria by Martin Evans
By the 1990s, Algeria's revolutionary political model had collapsed, degenerating into a savage conflict between the military and Islamist guerillas that killed some 200,000 citizens. This work explores Algeria's bloody history, demonstrating how the high hopes of independence turned into anger as young Algerians grew increasingly alienated.
"An excellent primer that provides readers a quick orientation into Algeria's history from 1820 to the present"—Cmdr. Youssef Aboul-Enein, Waterline -- Cmdr. Youssef Aboul-Enein * Waterline *
"As this chilling and important book makes clear, [Algeria] remains a country controlled by unelected men who have left most of the population disinherited and at continuing risk of political violence."—Michael Mewshaw, Washington Post -- Michael Mewshaw * Washington Post *
