The particular merit of Hugh Roberts’s book is the analysis he provides as to why things happened the way they did in Algeria, as opposed to many accounts of the civil war that simply record what happened or assume that it was a straightforward confrontation between secular and fundamentalist forces.

  Chapter Thirty-Nine Corruption

  1 I have had more than one conversation with European businessmen in Africa who say something as follows: ‘You have no idea how corrupt these people are (wherever they may be). I had to pay off the minister, his number two and two civil servants before I could secure the contract.’ ‘It takes two to be corrupt.’ Such a response is not understood. They (the Africans) were corrupt. The businessman was just doing what was necessary to obtain his contract!
