Unfinished Business

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

3/4. France. When the much-decorated war hero
General Paul Aussaresses admitted torturing and killing the enemies of France in the Algerian War, he caused a national scandal. In his investigations into how unfinished historical business has shaped the present, James Maw asks whetherthe French have come to terms with their country's role in Algeria. He meets the Harkis, a little-known group of Algerian soldiers who fought with the French but now find themselves shunned by their native land and seemingly forgotten by France itself. Producer Neil George
