Title: Nice to Hear the Other Side
Review: It is true this book is limited in scope, but it does give you an idea of what the French were up against in their war against the terrorist FLN. You learn about some FLN atrocities that are so appalling that even old scratch himself (initials G.P.) didn't put them in the pro-terrorist film THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS. You also learn about some plans the French military had to deal with certain benefactors of the bomb-planters, plans that were regrettably not carried out.Aussaresses was a hero. He helped crush the rebellion. It's unfortunate that he no longer was in charge when its evil head resurfaced.
