By Ferencz Aurelius Pulszky

Book Overview

The Tricolor On The Atlas: Or Algeria And The French Conquest is a historical account of the French conquest of Algeria in the mid-19th century. Written by Francis Pulszky and originally published in 1854, the book provides a detailed analysis of the political, social, and military aspects of the French campaign in North Africa. Pulszky, a Hungarian revolutionary and journalist, was an eyewitness to the events he describes, having traveled to Algeria in 1848 to report on the conflict. The book covers the origins of the French intervention, the battles and sieges that took place, the role of various military leaders, and the impact of the conquest on the local population. Pulszky also examines the broader geopolitical context of the conflict, including the rivalry between France and Britain for control of North Africa. The Tricolor On The Atlas is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of colonialism, military strategy, and the politics of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
