A proposito di questo titolo

In 1956, the Front de Libération Nationale (FLN) launched a campaign of urban guerrilla warfare in the Casbah of Algiers, targeting French police and pied-noir civilians. The French response was brutal: paratroopers under General Jacques Massu, systematic torture, and the construction of an intelligence apparatus that broke the FLN network by 1957. This episode traces the key players—from Saadi Yacef, the FLN commander, to Germaine Tillion, the ethnographer who pleaded for restraint—and the events that turned the Battle of Algiers into a symbol of anti-colonial struggle. We explore the use of women bombers, the French use of torture as a countermeasure, and the legacy of a conflict that still haunts Algeria and France. The battle may have been a tactical victory for France, but it was a strategic disaster, galvanizing international opinion against French rule.
