Review
Hundreds of alphabetically arranged, cross-referenced entries describe important people, places, issues, and events in the history of Algeria. Coverage spans every era, from the earliest human settlements through French colonization, the War of Liberation, and on to the present day. Supplemental materials include maps, a chronology, and a list of acronyms. The third edition has been updated with a special focus on Algeria's civil strife during the 1990s and its controversial re-institutionalization and re-democratization. Naylor teaches history at Marquette U. (Reference and Research Book News, November 2006)
The reader will come away equipped with the knowledge necessary to comprehend and analyze whatever future developments are sure to emanate from this multivariate and endlessly intriguing nation. (Anthony G. Pazzanita International Journal of African Historical Studies, Vol. 40)
