Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a firsthand account of a military campaign into the Kabylie region of Algeria during the mid-19th century, when French colonial forces sought to expand their control over the territory. The author, embedded within a French cavalry squadron, provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, people, and cultural clashes encountered during the expedition. The narrative delves into the complex social and political dynamics of the region, highlighting the distinct character of the Kabyle people, their fierce independence, and their resistance to French rule. The author explores the tensions between the French administration and the indigenous populations, raising questions about the ethics of colonialism and the impact of cultural assimilation policies. Through detailed observations and personal anecdotes, this book offers a thought-provoking reflection on the challenges and consequences of military intervention in a foreign land, inviting readers to consider the human cost of conquest and the enduring legacy of colonial encounters.
