The Algerian War 1954-1962 [3 Discs] [Tin Case]

"Europe experienced one of its most harrowing conflicts from 1954-1962, when Algeria - then under French colonial rule - produced rising internal tide of nationalism. Thus began the Franco-Algerian War - a highly violent and bloody series of protests for secession from its mother country, met by equally bellicose acts of counterinsurgency and even domestic terrorism within France. This five-episode documentary series chronicles the whole torturous history of the said conflict, via a combination of archival footage and incisive commentary. Individual installments include ""Road to Rebellion,"" ""A Question of Conscience,"" ""I Understand You,"" ""To the Barricades"" and ""The Suitcase or the Coffin."""
