50 years. Half a century since the epic of French Algeria ended. The arrival of the Pieds-Noirs in mainland France was so brutal and their settlement so painful that the wounds have never truly healed. Memories remain but fade a little more with each new generation.

Through this book, the Cercle Algérianiste wished to tell, without pretension, the story of France in Algeria. The origins, the conquest, the settlement of the first colonists, the efforts, the sacrifices, the successes, the failures, the defense of the homeland, daily life, the war, the exile.

Abundantly illustrated, this testimonial book is to be enriched with personal photos and documents to share with family and to pass on to future generations so that Our Algerian history may live on.
