Unique Book about Algerian War

Few books have been objectively written about the experience of the French military in their war against Muslim Algerian terrorism. In fact, Pursuit Commandos is a book that is so unique, that there is nothing like it available anywhere, except from QuikManuevers.com. The analysis and coverage of the unreported facts related to the Algerian War is also another mark of this book’s prestige. The price for a book of this size, loaded with period photographs, drawings, and explanatory charts, makes it almost a give-away at its amazingly low sales price.

The Algerian War was one in which the French military distinguished itself as one of the most professional armies in the world. French military intellectualism developed several combat innovations that were subsequently copied by other western armies, including: Air Mobile Operations, Pacification by Quadrillage, Pseudo Units, Pursuit Commandos, Indigenous Combat Units, Psychological Warfare, Counter-Terrorism Methods in both rural and urban settings, and Operational Level Intervention Campaigns.

All of these interesting warfare aspects are described in sufficient detail, so that American conventional forces now being defeated in Afghanistan and Iraq can adopt more successful methodologies.

The French Army in Algeria was blessed with a few excellent generals. The masterful strategy in the operational art of the French General Maurice Challe is described as never before. General Challe’s achievements are almost unknown among modern military enthusiasts. For the first time ever, the backstabbing methods of Charles De Gaulle, who betrayed his closest supporters by selling out to Muslim terrorism, is sharply defined. At the same time, the false mythology that Charles De Gaulle was a hero of World War II is destabilized.

Pursuit Commandos describes in detail the organization, personality, and methods of the Muslim Terrorist group, known as the FLN. FLN terrorists fought the French Army for many years, until the French Army won. Then De Gaulle betrayed the Army’s sacrifice and surrendered Algeria to the Muslim terrorists. Thus, the FLN’s reign of terror, as practiced by a group that particularly enjoyed torturing the innocent and defenseless, proved victorious.

Finally, the rationale, growth, and achievement of the pro-French Secret Army Organization is reported objectively. That courageous right-wing resistance group refused to surrender, and while fighting Muslim terrorists and the French Army simultaneously, nearly won.

War gamers and re-enactors can find in Pursuit Commandos, a book which answers most or all of their questions about what happened during the Algerian War.

QuikManeuvers is proud to offer a book which spotlights a heretofore unreported war, marked by French military gallantry.
