Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoroughly sharp and honest treatment of a brutal conflict.The Algerian War (1954-1962) was a savage colonial war, killing an estimated one million Muslim Algerians and expelling the same number of European settlers from their homes. It was to cause the fall of six French prime minsters and the collapse of the Fourth Repbulic. It came close to bringing down de Gaulle and - twice - to plunging France into civil war.The story told here contains heroism and tragedy, and poses issues of enduring relevance beyond the confines of either geography or time. Horne writes with the extreme intelligence and perspicacity that are his trademarks.

Book excerpt: Mixing fact with fiction, this novel is the story of four 18-year-old boys who are looking for some adventure in their lives while they are still young and in near-perfect physical condition. One of them watches a travelogue about California on television, and the idea is born--to cycle the state on ten-speed bikes and see a lot of new country. It sounded rather simple and easy, but they soon find out that the realities of life have a much different adventure for them. A summer of very hot weather and bad cooking. The food would keep a person alive, but that's about all. Quite often, they would get invited for dinner by a fellow camper, who felt sorry for them. They cycle the Great Central Valley of California, where it gets from 100 to 110 degrees almost every day in the summer. The only way to get away from the hot weather was to ride to a higher elevation in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains. They find a place of untold beauty in the Sierras and also beautiful girls. These four boys have to mature very quickly and become four young men in order to survive. Come along with them and see what life has to offer in Yosemite National Park and the Pacific Coast Highway of southern California, where they learn to surf the giant waves by the King of Surfdom, Big Daddy. This is the story of their big adventure, bear attacks, jail time, fights, girls who surf, and all. They found what they were looking for: adventure.
Download or read book The Franco Algerian War through a Twenty First Century Lens written by Nicole Beth Wallenbrock and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Franco-Algerian War (1954–62) remains a powerful international symbol of Third Worldism and the finality of Empire. Through its nuanced analysis of the war's depiction in film, The Franco-Algerian War through a Twenty-First Century Lens locates an international reckoning with history that both condemns and exonerates past generations. Algerian and French production partnerships-such as Hors-la-loi, (Outside the Law, Rachid Bouchareb, 2010) and Loubia Hamra (Bloody Beans, Narimane Mari, 2013)-are one of several ways citizens collaborate to unearth a shared history and its legacy. Nicole Beth Wallenbrock probes cinematic discourse to shed new light on topics including: the media revelation of torture and atomic bomb tests; immigration's role in the evolution of the war's meaning; and the complex relationship of the intertwined film cultures. The first chapter summarizes the Franco-Algerian War in 20th-century film, thus grounding subsequent queries with Algeria's moudjahid or freedom-fighter films and the French new wave's perceived disinterest in the conflict. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars seeking to understand cinema's role in re-evaluating war and reconstructing international memory.

Download or read book A Military History of the Cold War 1962 1991 written by Jonathan M. House and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Study of the Cold War all too often shows us the war that wasn’t fought. The reality, of course, is that many “hot” conflicts did occur, some with the great powers' weapons and approval, others without. It is this reality, and this period of quasi-war and semiconflict, that Jonathan M. House plumbs in A Military History of the Cold War, 1962–1991, a complex case study in the Clausewitzian relationship between policy and military force during a time of global upheaval and political realignment. This volume opens a new perspective on three fraught decades of Cold War history, revealing how the realities of time, distance, resources, and military culture often constrained and diverted the inclinations or policies of world leaders. In addition to the Vietnam War and nuclear confrontations between the USSR and the United States, this period saw dozens of regional wars and insurgencies fought throughout Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Cuba, Pakistan, Indonesia, Israel, Egypt, and South Africa pursued their own goals in ways that drew the superpowers into regional disputes. Even clashes ostensibly unrelated to the politics of East-West confrontation, such as the Nigerian-Biafran conflict, the Falklands/Malvinas War, and the Indonesian occupation of East Timor, involved armed forces, weapons, and tactics developed for the larger conflict and thus come under House’s scrutiny. His study also takes up nontraditional or specialized aspects of the period, including weapons of mass destruction, civil-military relations, civil defense, and control of domestic disorders. The result is a single, integrated survey and analysis of a complex period in geopolitical history, which fills a significant gap in our knowledge of the organization, logistics, operations, and tactics involved in conflict throughout the Cold War.
