A Diplomatic Revolution: Algeria's Fight for Independence and the Origins of the

Description: A Diplomatic Revolution by Matthew Connelly Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Fought at a strategic crossroads in the Cold War, Algerias war for independence was a harbinger of the contemporary era. In this history, Mathew Connelly shows how the rebels harnessed the forces of globalisation to break up the French empire and how it created the conditions of the postcolonial world. Publisher Description Algeria sits at the crossroads of the Atlantic, European, Arab, and African worlds. Yet, unlike the wars in Korea and Vietnam, Algerias fight for independence has rarely been viewed as an international conflict. Even forty years later, it is remembered as the scene of a national drama that culminated with Charles de Gaulles decision to "grant" Algerians their independence despite assassination attempts, mutinies, and settler insurrection.Yet, as Matthew Connelly demonstrates, the war the Algerians fought occupied a world stage, one in which the U.S. and the USSR, Israel and Egypt, Great Britain, Germany, and China all played key roles.Recognizing the futility of confronting France in a purely military struggle, the Front de Libération Nationale instead sought to exploit the Cold War competition and regional rivalries, the spread of mass communications and emigrant communities, and the proliferation of international and non-governmental organizations. By harnessing the forces of nascent globalization they divided France internally and isolated it from the world community. And, by winning rights and recognition asAlgerias legitimate rulers without actually liberating the national territory, they rewrote the rules of international relations. Based on research spanning three continents and including,for the first time, the rebels own archives, this study offers a landmark reevaluation of one of the great anti-colonial struggles as well as a model of the new international history. It will appeal to historians of post-colonial studies, twentieth-century diplomacy, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. A Diplomatic Revolution was winner of the 2003 Stuart L. Bernath Prize of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations, and the Akira IriyeInternational History Book Award, The Foundation for Pacific Quest.
