Alain Ruscio, a journalist and historian particularly sensitive to the issue of social justice, took an early interest in the unspoken aspects of the French colonial empire.

After studying the Indochina War in depth, he turned his attention to Algeria. With no personal ties to the former French colony, unlike other historians such as Benjamin Stora or the recently deceased Mohammed Harbi, Alain Ruscio has devoted several in-depth studies to its past, most recently with Nostalgérie.

L'interminable histoire de l'OAS, (Paris, Éd. La Découverte, 2015) and more distant, original so to speak, with :
La première guerre d'Algérie : une histoire de conquête et de résistance, 1830-1852, (La Découverte, 2024, 773 p.).

This clear, precise book has become an authority in its field. It is listed in the Médiathèque catalog.
