Negative Positive
Title: "Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it."
Review: A well written and well documented, and informative chronicle of the Algerian revolution; One of a number of books that should be required reading for all those who have an interest in history/U.S.foreign affairs and/or those who are/will be involved professionally in foreign/security affairs; Particularly apropos given our misguided involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan; My only criticism: The author used French expressions liberally throughout the text. It would have been nice to have accompanying English translations. NOTE: I served in Viet Nam and subsequently with the USG in a foreign/security affairs capacity, and have traveled and lived abroad extensively.
