La Chasse A l'Homme: Guerres d'Algérie (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book recounts the tragic events of the 1845 Siege of Sidi-Brahim during the Algerian conflict, where a small column of French soldiers under Colonel Montagnac was ambushed and massacred by vastly superior numbers of Algerian forces led by Abd el-Kader. The book draws on firsthand accounts, including Montagnac's own harrowing correspondence with his family, to provide a gripping narrative of the battle. The author explores the complex political and social tensions of the period, including the role of religious fanaticism and colonial ambition, examining the disastrous consequences for France, whose reputation for invincibility was severely compromised by this defeat.
