This gripping insiders account chronicles how and why a young woman in 1950s Algiers joined the armed wing of Algerias national liberation movement to combat her countrys French occupiers. When the movements leaders turned to Drif and her female colleagues to conduct attacks in retaliation for French aggression against the local population, they leapt at the chance. Their actions were later portrayed in Gillo Pontecorvos famed film The Battle of Algiers. When first published in French in 2013, this intimate memoir was met with great acclaim and no small amount of controversy. It is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand not only the anticolonial struggles of the 20th century and their relevance today, but also the specific challenges that women often confronted (and overcame) in those movements.
