"The Battle of Algiers"

[pynchonoid]

...a movie mentioned here several times before:


"The Pentagon wanted to sideline the C.I.A. and State
and run the war and reconstruction itself. Now,
overwhelmed, the Pentagon's special operations chiefs
were reduced to screening a 1965 movie, "The Battle of
Algiers," last week, as David Ignatius reported in The
Washington Post, to try to learn why the French
suffered a colonial disaster in a guerrilla war
against Muslims in Algiers."
