Fortunate failure in Algeria ends another coup attempt
Bruce Biossat argues that the short lived rightist coup in Algeria failed despite surprise and initial gains. He notes loyalty of loyalist troops, broad support for De Gaulle, and warns the effort risks France’s unity and the free world. Observers cite motives from a mission to European domination of Algeria to bitterness over past defeats. Free men hope this failure sticks.

No one has opted to continue past retirement under the policy.
