Algeria's bloody history forged brutal response to Sahara camp raid | World news | guardian.co.uk: "Algeria's modern history is steeped in blood. In nationalist historiography the long struggle for independence against the French colonial power came at the price of a "million martyrs."

The Kiplingesque title of the best history of the liberation war in English – "A Savage War of Peace" (by Alistair Horne) - captured that brilliantly."
