The
Wretched of the Earth
by Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington (Translator)
Frantz Fanon (1925-61) was a Martinique-born black psychiatrist and
anticolonialist intellectual; The Wretched of the Earth is considered by
many to be one of the canonical books on the worldwide black liberation
struggles of the 1960s. Within a Marxist framework, using a cutting and
nonsentimental writing style, Fanon draws upon his horrific experiences
working in Algeria during its war of independence against France. He addresses
the role of violence in decolonization and the challenges of political
organization and the class collisions and questions of cultural hegemony
in the creation and maintenance of a new country's national consciousness.
As Fanon eloquently writes, "[T]he unpreparedness of the educated classes,
the lack of practical links between them and the mass of the people, their
laziness, and, let it be said, their cowardice at the decisive moment of
the struggle will give rise to tragic mishaps."
Although socialism has seemingly collapsed in the years since Fanon's
work was first published, there is much in his look into the political,
racial, and social psyche of the ever-emerging Third World that still rings
true at the cusp of a new century. --Eugene Holley, Jr. - Amazon.com

France,
the United States, and the Algerian War
by Irwin M. Wall
In this pioneering book, Irwin M. Wall unravels the intertwining threads
of the protracted agony of France's war with Algeria, the American role
in the fall of the Fourth Republic, the long shadow of Charles de Gaulle,
and the decisive postwar power of the United States. At the heart of this
study is an incisive analysis of how Washington helped bring de Gaulle
to power and a penetrating revisionist account of his Algerian policy.

The
First Helicopter War: Logistics and Mobility in Algeria, 1954-1962
by Charles R. Shrader
Using recently released French official documents and a variety of
other sources, this study explains how the French Army, so recently defeated
by the Viet Minh insurgents in Indochina, was able to successfully defeat
the Algerian nationalist rebels on the battlefield, while nevertheless
losing the war at the conference table. This French success, between 1954
and 1962, was due in large part to the superior logistical system of the
French Army and the use of the helicopter to enhance French operational
mobility. French counter-mobility measures, particularly the construction
of heavily defended interdiction zones on the eastern and western borders
of Algeria, proved highly effective against the rebels. Such methods essentially
cut off the rebel forces from their bases and from sources of supply located
outside Algeria, and consequently strangled and destroyed the rebel forces
within Algeria. The Publisher.
