He is a trusted war hero... or so they think?

It's inevitable - civil war — the end of an empire and the rise of a nation. But first, the rebels have to defeat their masters and win their freedom. Only one thing stands in their way — an entire brigade of French paratroopers and a ruthless general willing to do whatever it takes to crush the resistance.

How far will the French go to save their empire?

The leaders of the resistance hide in the Casbah — the ancient citadel of Algiers. The people protect them. But even the bravest have a breaking point... the safety of their business... their home... their sons and daughters.

What sacrifices will the Algerians endure to free their nation?

Based on true events, Battle of the Casbah is historical fiction about the Algerian War for Independence — one of the most controversial wars of the 20th Century. A brutal conflict that challenged the morals of civilization and revealed the true cost of urban warfare.

Who will win and at what price?
