This book is a tissue of lies. There are thousands of testimonials that prove otherwise. The hundreds of thousands of pieds noirs (French in Algeria) had no choice: it was "the suitcase or the coffin" contrary to the title of this book. A few have remained in Algeria, nobody ever said otherwise, but it was they who had no choice. This book is an insult to my family and to the million exiles who have lost everything, and to more than 400,000 deaths from this war. A lack of credibility of Actes Sud publishing this kind of cloth.
