Description

Memoirs of a Mujahed by Hamou Amirouche Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "Translated and adapted by the author from his best-selling book, Akfadou: un an avec le Colonel Amirouche (Casbah Editions 2009, Algiers)." Publisher Description "Memoirs of a Mujahed" is the first book published in English by an academic who fought in the Algerian war of independence. It is an adaptation of the author's best seller, "Akfadou, Un An avec le Colonel Amirouche", published in French in 2009 by Casbah Editions, Algiers. Although these memoirs target the public at large, academics, students of history and Islamist ideology, of asymmetric, psychological, and guerrilla warfare, as well as political sociologists will find it valuable. When the author was seven years old, he saw his father, a nationalist activist, savagely beaten and incarcerated by French troops. A burning hatred of colonialism and the French, sparked by that appalling incident, ignited his first flickers of political awareness. The book combines a harrowing personal narrative with history, politics, and ethnography. It briefly addresses the turmoil of prewar nationalist activism before relating the tragic though exhilarating war events he lived or witnessed as a guerrilla fighter. Sent by the Revolutionary Provisional Government to the US, one month before the end of the war, he describes with a broken heart Algeria's bittersweet independence accompanied by violence unleashed by the race to take power. Attending Georgetown, Wesleyan and Colorado Universities, he analyses an arduous cultural adjustment and the discovery that the quality of leadership, and not natural wealth, constitutes the decisive factor in a country's greatness. Looking back with dismay at Algeria's missed opportunities since 1962, the work devotes a portion of the epilogue to a revolution hijacked by non-revolutionaries who led the country into a new Algerian war, prompting the inescapable questions: What went wrong? Has a different episode of violence dawned in Algeria, or did the previous one never end?

  1. Book arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.

  2. The first item arrived with some damage to the inside back cover, but the seller responded immediately, assuring me they’d provide a replacement, and even told me I could keep the original. They were upfront about a short delay, and gave a clear estimated ship date, and followed up right on time once it shipped. The replacement arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. I really appreciated their transparency and professionalism. Would definitely buy from them again!

  3. This seller is amazing. The appearance of the books I purchased are exactly as pictured. The quality is brand new and nothing was broken or bent when it arrived. The only issue I had was the wait time. However, the time it took them to actually ship the books was rather quick. They were very polite and answered my questions about the language the books are in and if they were lost in the mail. Shipping was my fault for not understanding processing times to ship to the US.
