After liberating itself from French colonial rule in one of the twentieth century`s most brutal wars of independence, Algeria became a standard-bearer for the non-aligned movement. By the 1990s, however, its revolutionary political model had collapsed, degenerating into a savage conflict between the military & Islamist guerillas that killed some 200, 000 citizens. In this lucid & gripping account, Martin Evans & John Phillips explore Algeria`s recent & very bloody history, demonstrating how the high hopes of independence turned into anger as young Algerians grew increasingly alienated. Unemployed, frustrated by the corrupt military regime, & excluded by the West, the post-independence generation needed new heroes, & some found them in Osama bin Laden & the rising Islamist movement. Evans & Phillips trace the complex roots of this alienation, arguing that Algeria`s predicament
- political instability, pressing economic & social problems, bad governance, a disenfranchised youth
- is emblematic of an arc of insecurity stretching from Morocco to Indonesia. Looking back at the precolonial & colonial periods, they place Algeria`s complex present into historical context, demonstrating how successive governments have manipulated the past for their own ends. The result is a fractured society with a complicated & bitter relationship with the Western powers, & an increasing tendency to export terrorism to France, America, & beyond.

Map No. G-1B in the TPC series: military topographic survey mapping covering the world's land masses & significant islands at 1:500, 000. The maps are useful as general topographical coverage where nothing else is available, although they are designed primarily as flying charts for military aircraft. TPC stands for Tactical Pilotage Chart. Relief is portrayed by a combination of contours (basic interval 500ft, intermediate contours shown where appropriate), elevation tinting & relief shading, plus spot heights. Towns, villages, major roads, railways & airports are shown but please note that many of the smaller settlements are not named & the road information is not necessarily up to date, as compilation & revision dates vary. Some air navigation information also appears on the map, such as radio beacons & restricted flying zones. Each TPC chart has both UTM & latitude/longitude grids overprinted on it, with additional margin ticks. IMPORTANT
- PLEASE NOTE: The series is gradually being withdrawn from sale to the general public & some sheets may no longer be available when ordered by us. Due to the nature of the map projection assembling these sheets to make a larger map is not recommended. in addition, colours used for relief are not constant throughout the series. In some areas of central Africa & South America the maps have blank spaces, reflecting localized deficiencies or inconsistencies in the survey data.
