  • Burning the Veil: the Algerian War and the 'Emancipation' of Muslim
    3 Unveiling: the ‘revolutionary journées’ of 13 May 1958 Throughout the period from early 1956 to early 1958 putschist forces had been gathering strength both within the army and among right- wing settler organisations and these eventually coalesced on 13 May 1958 when crowds gathered in the Forum and stormed the General Government buildings. The military rapidly used the crisis to effect a bloodless coup and to install a temporary ‘revolutionary’ authority headed by a Committee of Public Safety (Comité de salut public or CSP) under Generals Massu and Salan. There then followed a tense stand- off between the army in Algeria and the new Paris government headed by Pierre Pfl imlin, a three-week period during which civil war was a real possibility, until de Gaulle agreed to assume, once again, the role of ‘saviour of the nation’, and was voted into power by the National Assembly on 1 June.1 ‘13 May’ was one of the great turning points in modern French history, not only because it marked a key stage in the Algerian War, but more signifi cantly the collapse of the Fourth Republic, de Gaulle’s return to power, and the beginnings of the new constitutional regime of the Fifth Republic. The planning of the coup and its implementation was extraordi- narily complex – the Bromberger brothers in Les 13 Complots du 13 mai counted thirteen strands2 – but basically two antagonistic politi- cal formations reached agreement to rally to the call for de Gaulle’s return to power. On the one hand there was a secret plot by Gaullists, most notably Michel Debré (soon to become Prime Minister), Jacques Soustelle, Léon Delbecque and Jacques Chaban-Delmas (acting Minister of Defence), to engineer the return of the General so as to resolve the political crisis of the ‘system’, the dead hand of the party system of the Fourth Republic, which they viewed as destroying the grandeur of France.

  • Counterinsurgency in the Algerian Revolution and the Iraq Surge
    ABSTRACT Learning Lackluster Lessons: Counterinsurgency in the Algerian Revolution and the Iraq Surge Patrick Kerry Ormsby Director: Dr. David A. Smith Ph.D. Modern American History The Algerian Revolution provided two distinct avenues for approaching irregular, population centric conflicts typical of the post-World War II world. Captain David Galula’s counterinsurgency campaign (1956-58) provided the blueprint for a hearts-and- minds counterinsurgency, while the Battle of Algiers (1956-57) displayed a more brutal approach that garnered short-term results at great strategic costs. Writers of modern American counterinsurgency doctrine purposefully drew from the former and inadvertently from the latter but removing the tactics making it “effective.” False historical narratives unfortunately clouded Galula’s campaign which had fundamental shortcomings undiscussed in his memoirs. Additionally, several noteworthy hearts-and- minds counterinsurgencies proved to bear more similarity with the brutal approach. The Iraq Surge (2007), the first practical application of modern American counterinsurgency doctrine and an example of progression in that it did not feature torture, owned fundamental flaws not only unique to it but also others eerily similar to those within French counterinsurgency campaigns in Algeria.

He began his training in Niclausse's studio of sculpture at the Decorative Arts School before entering Lucien Simon's one at the Fine Art School. He rapidly left the school to work in Montparnasse's studios. Encouraged by Derain, Kisling, Friesz and Favory, he realised his first Parisian exhibition in 1928, at the Galerie du Taureau. From 1929, he took part in the main Parisian Salon, in wich the Salon des Tuileries, the Salon des Artistes Indépendants and the Automn Salon (of whom a became a member), but he also exhibited during many national and international associations, for exemple in Algiers, Oran, Casablanca, Rabat, London, Brussels or New York. In 1931, he discovered Normandy and Honfleur. In 1933, sponsored by his eldest Albert Brabo and Jean Launois, he gained the Villa Abd-el Tif prize in Algiers. Then he stayed about ten years in Algeria and Morocco. Paid by the general government of Algeria, he conducted many artistic projects in the South and took part in several exhibitions (" Paris-Oran-Alger " ; Musée de la France d'Outre-mer...). Mobilised in 1939 in Morocco and demobilised in 1940, he became, between 1942 and 1945, under the name of André Hache, reporter and drawer for the French army newspaper, under the direction of colonel Raoul Salan.

  • The Challenge of the Fifth Republic 141 the Challenge of the Fifth Republic the Wavering of Some Metropolitan Officials Vis-À-V
    the challenge of the fifth republic 141 CHAPTER THREE THE CHALLENGE OF THE FIFTH REPUBLIC The wavering of some metropolitan officials vis-à-vis the Sawaba govern- ment lost much of its urgency when spectacular developments in Algeria demanded the undivided attention of the French government from the second half of May. The French had been engaged, since November 1954, in a bloody war of attrition against the nationalists united in the ‘Front de Libération Nationale’ (FLN). The Algerian nationalists opposed the idea of Algeria as an overseas part of metropolitan France—a conception that took its strength from the presence of a million European colonists. After the ‘battle’ of Algiers in 1957 the war developed, from a military point of view, to France’s advantage but at the expense of massive human rights violations. Politically, therefore, the war became untenable, with metro- politan conscripts caught between the guerrillas of the FLN’s army, the ‘Armée de Libération Nationale’ (ALN), and the intransigence of colonists in fear of losing a privileged lifestyle. The Fourth Republic, which had al- ready suffered the loss of Indo-China, stumbled from crisis to crisis to the point that it satisfied neither side in the conflict.1 In the midst of a ministerial crisis in Paris, French colonists on 13 May 1958 established a ‘Comité de Salut Public’ in the capital Algiers, which met with sympathy from high-ranking army officers frustrated by the politics of the Algerian crisis. One of them was General Raoul Salan, commander- in-chief of the French forces in Algeria.

    Last fights. 5 days in hell, or the end of GM 100 in Indochina. June 24-28, 1954. By Jean-François Mouragues Page 2 TO MY MEN WHO ARE DEAD. My companions it's me my good people of war, It's your boss yesterday who comes here to speak, From what we do not know, or that we hardly know; My dead I greet you and I say to you: Thank you. Anonymous heroes, nonchalant with hope. You wanted, was not it, at the time of the return, When he set foot on the land of France, Having a bit of glory, he had a little love. As to whether everything went this way, And if you did not stay for nothing there, If you did not die for a dead thing, O poor friends, do not ask it! Sleep in the greatness of your sacrifice, Sleep, let no regret come to haunt you! Sleep in this broad and liberating peace Where my thought in mourning will go to visit you! I know where to find, at their ultimate stage All those whose great grass has drunk vermeil blood, And those engulfed by the traps of undermining, And those who devoured the fever and the sun. From here, I'll see you down to earth In the early pit where I left you, Rigids clad in your war clothes And weird shrouds made of braided reeds. If sometimes in the jungle where the tiger touches you And that no more shakes the recoil of the barrel, It seems to you that a finger is touching your shoulder, If you think you hear your name called: Soldiers resting under the distant earth, And whose blood gave me remorse, Just say, "This is our Captain "Who remembers you ..

Le titre de cet ouvrage met en évidence un aspect clé de la personnalité de Raoul Salan, bien loin des légendes colportées sur son compte par des gens qui, souvent, ne l’ont pas connu.

L’ouvrage de Jacques Valette présente une analyse approfondie de la politique française menée en Algérie, depuis 1914 et surtout depuis1945, qui s’est heurtée au double refus des leaders politiques musulmans (des souverains au Maroc et en Tunisie) qui veulent accéder au pouvoir et au refus des communautés d’origine européenne non conscientes des réalités politiques sociales et culturelles du Maghreb.

  • French Army Strategy and Strategic Culture During the Algerian War, 1954-1958
    French Army Strategy and Strategic Culture during the Algerian War, 1954-1958 Wynne M. Beers A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2011 Approved By: Wayne Lee Joe Glatthaar Donald Reid ©2011 Wynne M. Beers ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT French Army Strategy and Strategic Culture during the Algerian War, 1954-1958 (Under the direction of Wayne Lee) This thesis examines the various means by which “strategy” was communicated to field commanders during the first half of the French war in Algeria, from 1954 to 1958, and then explores how the actions of a particular regimental commander and his subordinates provides testimony of how they synthesized the concept of “strategy” for them. Studying wartime strategy solely from the perspective of military and civilian high command leadership is insufficient because it only addresses one of several influences (schools, doctrine, past and current warfighting experiences, and logistical structure, to name a few) that interact together to modify how field commanders actually think about and conduct war. This thesis proposes that studying an army’s strategic culture, understood as the expression of a “way of war,” rather than simply an army’s “strategy,” provides a suitable synthetic approach by which historians and strategists can answer useful and specific questions concerning how and why commanders in the field wage war at their level.

  • (1917-18), Promotions De Sainte-Odile Et De La Fayette
    Général de brigade (2s) Jean Boÿ 25 octobre 2010 1ère édition : décembre 2008 Historique des 101 e et 102 e promotions (1917-18), promotions de Sainte-Odile et de La Fayette Origine du nom Un document du capitaine Robert, G., C. Métivier explique l’origine de ce double nom. « Des petits cos La Fayette aimeraient connaître les raisons et les circonstances qui ont amené le "Peloton Riboulot" à être baptisé "Sainte Odile" ? Effectivement les documents officiels de l’ESM et de la Saint-Cyrienne mentionnent : 101 e et 102 e promotions, 1917-18 : Sainte-Odile-La Fayette Ayant passé le même concours d’entrée, issus bien souvent des mêmes corniches, tout naturellement nous avons considéré faire partie d’une seule et même promotion. Alors, pourquoi l’administration a-t-elle fait enregistrer deux promotions : 101 e promotion : Sainte-Odile ; 102 e promotion : Lafayette Il faut reprendre la situation début 1917. Aux Armées il y a crise d’effectifs et surtout d’encadrement. Appel anticipé sous les drapeaux, dès avril 1917, de la jeune classe 1918. C’est ainsi que les "cornichons" de la classe 1918 ont été incorporés avant d’avoir terminé leur année scolaire 1916-17. Ils ont passé les épreuves du concours d’entrée à la Spéciale étant "militaires", tandis que les petits cos de la classe 19 ont passé le concours étant "civils". Le jour de leur arrivée au Vieux Bahut, le 4 août 1917, les petits cos de la classe 18 avaient déjà reçu et "digéré" dans les unités où ils avaient été incorporés une instruction complète de l’école du soldat, de l’école du groupe ; de plus, une bonne partie - ceux qui avaient demandé à suivre le peloton des EOR (en cas d’échec au concours de Cyr) - avaient commencé l’instruction du brevet de chef de section.
