It is hard to convey the public impact of France's war to maintain her
colonial grip on Algeria; yet in the late 1950s this ugly conflict
dominated Europe's media to almost the same 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 often ruinous exile. This
title details the history, organisation, equipment and uniforms of the
forces involved.
