Sommario/riassunto

For decades knowledge of the 1961 massacre of Algerian demonstrators by the Paris police was suppressed. This study investigates the roots of this violence within the colonial system & how the event was covered up until it resurfaced after the 1980s to become one of the most controversial issues in contemporary French politics.
