On Modern Algeria

Ageron, Charles-Robert. Modern Algeria: A History from 1830 to the Present. Translated by Michael Brett. Trenton, NJ: Africa World Press, 1992. pp. 166. Paperback.

This was the starting point in English for those looking to study modern Algeria over the 25 years following its publication, and it does quite a decent job. That being said, in my view, it has since been surpassed by A History of Algeria.
