«Les Généraux du crépuscule» is the historical novel by Régine Deforges, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (374 pages, in French).
Léa and François Tavernier live through the final years of the Algerian War (1960-1962): the suffering of the Algerian people, the abandonment of the pieds-noirs, and the violence of the OAS and the FLN. Algiers, a city in chaos, is the setting for a collective drama while the protagonists, close to General de Gaulle, seek a way out for both communities.
It is volume 9 of the La Bicyclette bleue saga, covering the 1960-1962 period of the Algerian War.
For readers of historical fiction and family sagas; the text is in French, so comprehension of this language is required.
