add to cart   close window

The book, "Special Services, Algeria 1955-1957," by Paul Aussaresses, has riveted the French, stirring long-suppressed memories of the war without a name and generating calls for an official declaration of repentance and judicial action against its author. It is a remarkable document, both for what it reveals of France's crimes in Algeria and for what it reveals of the miscarriage of justice that took place after the war. Aussaresses's book sheds light on some of the most important unresolved mysteries of the war, notably the deaths of Larbi Ben M'Hidi, an Algerian National Liberation Front leader, and of Ali Boumendjel, a prominent Algerian attorney.
