“Vince has made an admirable contribution to understanding the shaping of historical writing. It emphasizes how necessary it is to account for the political and social concerns of the period in which the work is written without forgetting the agenda of the author. It will serve as a critical tool for researchers and students interested in the Algerian War and its legacy.” (Patricia M. E. Lorcin, Journal of Modern History, Vol. 95 (3), September, 2023)
