In this French-language book, Faouzi Djoudi returns to 1 November 1954, the night the Algerian Revolution began, to examine its roots, its course and its impact on the destiny of Algeria. Combining a researcher's method with a writer's sensitivity, he traces the long road to freedom, dignity and restored sovereignty, and recalls the collective memory of a generation that refused to stay silent.
The book offers a historical and human reading of the War of Independence and of the known and unknown figures who made independence possible. It will interest readers of Algerian and Maghreb history and of decolonisation movements. The 532-page hardcover is published by Scribe Publishing and Distribution.
