About This Book
"Irwin M. Wall unravels the intertwining threads of the protracted agony of France's war with Algeria, America's role in the fall of the Fourth Republic, the long shadow of Charles de Gaulle, and the decisive postwar power of the United States. At the heart of this study is an analysis of how Washington helped bring de Gaulle to power and a revisionist account of his Algerian policy.
Departing from widely held interpretations of the Algerian war, Wall approaches the conflict as an international diplomatic crisis whose outcome was primarily dependent on French relations with Washington, the NATO alliance, and the United Nations, rather than on military engagement."--BOOK JACKET.
