"This intriguing book is the product of deep and detailed archival research into the artistic, cultural, social, and political situation of the Algerian War, revealing with engaging precision the extreme complexity of its representation in public broadcast media, its profound impact on French intellectual life, the cultural activism it precipitated, not least in conceptions of citizenship and in city planning, and above all its deep resonance within the most significant visual arts ideas and practices of the period, including André Malraux’s aesthetics, Isodore Isou’s lettrisme, and the Nouveau Réaliste."—Terry Smith, coeditor of Antinomies of Art and Culture: Modernity, Postmodernity, Contemporaneity

"Hannah Feldman's book is a masterpiece of historical inquiry that fundamentally restructures our view of French society after 1945, banning the term 'post-war' as a descriptor of that period. France was nothing but at war until 1962, first in Indochina, then in Algeria, and Feldman offers a radically new analysis of the impact those colonial wars had on its culture--from Malraux's musée imaginaire and grandiose plan to renovate Paris to the literary and filmic production of the Lettriste group, the activities of Décollagistes artists or that of photojournalists braving state censorship. A tour de force."—Yve-Alain Bois, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University
