Plots and Purges in the Algerian Liberation Army (1958-1961), Charles-Robert Ageron.
Spy mania, fear of betrayal, and sectarianism were responsible for revolutionary purges within the National Liberation Army during the Algerian war of independence. This on-going purge often decimated the officers and demoralized the men. This is the first article to look scrupulously at the violent revenge taken, wilaya by wilaya. It was useful today, it seemed to us, to recall the existence of these victims, sacrificed on the altar of human stupidity.
