| |  | | | In Brief
The author examines the French debate over the army's use of torture against F.L.N. prisoners during the Algerian War. She "reviews the statements and writings of major and minor participants and observers of the eight-year Algerian conflict as they relate to torture and France's all-out effort to keepAlgeria French. This review . . . focuses on three categories of actors: government officials, the military and intellectuals. . . . {According to Maran},one theme, as motive and justification for fighting the war, emerges again and again: France's historic mission civilisatrice, that is, the transfer through colonization of French culture, language, religion, values system, educationand administration in the name of progress and modernization." (Nation) Index.
| | | | From The Publisher
This book takes a close look at the use of torture during the French-Algerian War (1954-1962) and reveals the failure, under stress, of a liberal democratic state to uphold its legal obligations on human rights. Rita Maran examines the justification for the routine use of torture during that war and contrasts this to the simultaneous development of global instruments to assure human rights and abolish torture. The book points out that human rights violations traceable to ideology occur irrespective of a state's political system and vaunted traditions of rights.
