If you're interested in the Algerian independence thing, I can recommend Ted Morgan's My Battle of Algiers, which I had to read for my military history class last semester. ("Ted Morgan" is the name the author has traded under as an American journalist, but by birth he's a French aristo, St. Charles de Graumont, and it was in that connection that he wound up drafted to serve in the French Army during the Algeria campaign.)
