SUMMARY OF THE BOOK: The Algerian War of 1954-62 has been widely forgotten beyond North Africa and the Arab world, as it was a conflict with little American or British involvement. On closer inspection, however, it is clearly linked to the modern conflicts being fought in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan.

A new method of warfare was honed in the fires of this conflict: terrorism.

This book explores the similarity between the Algerian war of independence and other insurgencies in the Middle East, Sri Lanka and Southern Africa.

The book explores the proposition that this war to create an independent Muslim state in place of a western society was the birthplace of modern terrorism.
