Ma guerre d'Algérie 1958-1960

Operation Binoculars, in Kabylia, under the command of General Challe, in the forest of Akfadou. August 1959
This publication is an interesting war diary, with pictures taken by the author & his comrades, in two parts, by Guy Amand. Amand served as a regular soldier with the Commando Parachutiste de l'Air 10/541 from 1958 - 1962 in Algeria. Part-One | Part-Two. I can also recommend the book "A Savage War of Peace", by Alistair Horne, in order to understand the struggle & de-colonisation in Algeria.
