"No book ever came more perfectly on cue than Martin Stone’s The Agony of Algeria, with its mission to explain. Its thesis is that the issues left unresolved after Algeria won independence in 1962 are at the root of its current predicament. By grounding his argument in a tour-d’horizon of two millennia, Stone shows how complex those issues are." — Financial Times
