Alistair Horne – A Savage War Of Peace – Uncorrected Proof Copy 1977
£35.00
An uncorrected proof copy of A Savage War of Peace by Alistair Horn, published by MacMillan, London in 1977. A near fine copy, with creasing to the spine, some bumping to extremities, light shelf wear to soft covers and mild toning and spotting to top edge of text block.
A Savage War of Peace: Algeria, 1954–1962 by Alistair Horne is a definitive history of the brutal conflict between France and Algerian nationalists. Meticulously researched, it traces the war’s roots in colonial rule, chronicles the campaign’s terror—bombings, torture, counterinsurgency—and its profound political fallout: the collapse of France’s Fourth Republic, de Gaulle’s return, and massive civilian casualties. Horne’s balanced narrative draws on deep interviews and archives, illuminating the war’s impact in shaping modern insurgencies across the globe.
