Dirty War by Lisa Lieberman

4.0

I think having a good background about French post 1945 would help. Still, this short essay did make me very interested in learning more about the French/Algeria war as well as adding more understanding to the whole discussion about Zidane and his importance in French Foolball - besides the fact he is a genius. It also provides background for current French debates about immigrants.

There is also quite about the influence of writers during the war. Compelling.

Thank you Lisa Lieberman. I would not have read the Question without you.

Short, but ultimately forgettable, account of the role torture played in the Algerian independence war and civil war that followed.
