The Seine Was Red
Toward the end of the Algerian war, the FLN, organized a demonstration in Paris to oppose a curfew imposed upon Algerians in France. About 30,000 Algerians gathered peacefully, but the protest was suppressed by the Paris police. Between 50 and 200 Algerians were killed and their bodies were thrown into the Seine. This novel recounts this event.
