"I've heard so much about this book as the definitive historical account on the subject, but I'm already rolling my eyes. Alistair Thorne boasts about how he's the perfect person to write this history because of his neutrality on the issue as a British citizen. However, I'm seeing nothing but a sympathetic account for the French and a relatively drier account for the Algerians. This hasn't been a good start." — Dec 12, 2021 09:35AM

“My taste runs to hourglasses, maps, seventeenth-century typefaces, etymologies, the taste of coffee, and the prose of Robert Louis Stevenson.”

“Sexist grammar burns into the brains of little girls and young women a message that the male is the norm, the standard, the central figure beside which we are all deviants, the marginal, the dependent variables. It lays the foundation for androcentric thinking, and leaves men safe in their solipsistic tunnel-vision.”
