\n GQ: Best of Modern Middle Eastern Literature\u00a0<\/p>\n

This engaging memoir provides a vivid account of a childhood under French colonization and a life dedicated to fighting for the freedom and dignity of the Algerian people.<\/p>\n

The son of a butcher and the youngest of six siblings, Mokhtar Mokhtefi was born in 1935 and grew up in a village de colonisation roughly one hundred kilometers south of the capital of Algiers. Thanks to the efforts of a supportive teacher, he became the only child in the family to progress to high school, attending a French lyc\u00e9e that\u00a0deepened his belief in the need for independence.\u00a0In 1957, at age twenty-two, he joined the National Liberation Army (ALN), the armed wing of the National Liberation Front (FLN), which had been waging war against France since 1954. After completing rigorous training in radio transmissions at a military base in Morocco, he went on to become an officer in the infamous Minist\u00e8re de l\u2019Armement et des Liaisons G\u00e9n\u00e9rales (MALG), the precursor of post-independence Algeria\u2019s Military Security (SM).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mokhtefi\u2019s powerful memoir bears witness to the extraordinary men and women who fought for Algerian independence against a colonial regime that viewed non-Europeans as fundamentally inferior, designating them not as French citizens, but as \u201cFrench Muslims.\u201d He presents a nuanced, intelligent, and deeply personal perspective on Algeria\u2019s transition to independent statehood, with all its inherent opportunities and pitfalls.
