Why people recommend it
A Savage War of Peace by Alistair Horne is a classic, comprehensive historical account detailing the brutal and complex conflict of the Algerian War for independence from France. On an episode of EconTalk titled Terrorism, Israel, and Dreams of Peace, released on November 18, 2024, guest Haviv Rettig Gur spoke with host Russ Roberts about historical parallels to modern conflicts. During the discussion, Gur recommended the British historian's magisterial study of the Algerian conflict to illustrate specific anti-colonial military strategies and historical dynamics. By bringing up Horne's detailed historical analysis, Gur provided the EconTalk audience with a deeper framework for understanding insurgency, state responses, and the profound human costs associated with asymmetric warfare in the Middle East and beyond.
