Combining military history, political analysis, and human stories, Horne explores how a seemingly powerful colonial state became entangled in a war it ultimately could not win.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book traces the conflict from the rise of the National Liberation Front (FLN) in 1954 through years of guerrilla warfare, terrorism, counterinsurgency, political crisis, and growing international pressure. Horne examines the French military response, including the Battle of Algiers, as well as the internal divisions within the nationalist movement and the political consequences of the war in France.
