Ordeal In Algeria (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781104843748)

""Ordeal in Algeria"" is a non-fiction book written by Richard Brace. The book is a personal account of the author's experience during the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962). Brace was a young British journalist who was sent to Algeria to cover the conflict between the French colonial authorities and the Algerian nationalists. Through his first-hand observations and interviews, Brace provides a vivid and detailed description of the brutality and horror of the war. He also exposes the political and social complexities of the conflict, which involved not only the struggle for Algerian independence but also the competing interests of various French factions, as well as the involvement of other countries such as the United States and the Soviet Union.The book also explores the personal toll that the war took on Brace himself, as he struggled to balance his role as a journalist with his own moral and ethical convictions. The book is a gripping and thought-provoking account of one of the most significant conflicts of the 20th century, and a testament to the courage and resilience of the Algerian people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
