"It is not only men, in Algeria the gods are also dying, all our old western idols with their great principles
The Algerian war is not just another war. It sweeps away many of our illusions: it calls for neither winners nor losers, but goes much further in what we call the meaning of history. It drives the nomads from their tents and sends them to regrouping camps; it surrounds mosques and churches with barbed wire, turns schools into barracks and barracks into schools. It leaves the soldiers in their loneliness and despair, uncertain, helpless but with their machine guns clutched as if they were now their only justification and their only certainty.
The rebels and the forces of law and order gradually come to wage the same struggle and in the same way, a struggle without mercy and without respite, a struggle without outcome that knows neither day nor night, that takes place beyond Good and Evil, in the frozen world of efficiency."
Jean Larteguy
