Title : A State Silence - The missing European civilians of the Algerian War - Jean-Jacques Jordi - book

Summary :

To write scientifically about the Disappeared European Civilians during the Algerian War is to lift the last taboo of the Algerian War. It is to say what we have not wanted to hear for nearly half a century: there were many more Europeans abducted and of whom we have no "trace" today after the Evian Accords and after the independence of Algeria than in the "full war"! It is also to say that the FLN (National Liberation Front) and the ALN (National Liberation Army) were the main actors of these "disappearances" and that at no time did their leaders disavow these practices. The goal of making the French leave Algeria was finally achieved by the terror instituted by the FLN. It is finally to say that the French government was perfectly aware of the atrocities perpetrated against its nationals without intervening other than through vain protests. Through this study, the Manichaeism resulting from the Algerian War, between the "good" on one side and the "bad" on the other, no longer applies. The analysis in this work allows us to give back a story to people, to families who were deprived of it. Approaching this story was the whole ambition of this innovative research.
