Algerian Civil War Studies?

Asked by Brian_Ghilliotti (328points) April 12th, 2017 from iPhone

Has there been a recent tactical, campaign, and political analysis of the Algerian Civil war (1991–2002) besides what is found in Wikipedia? I would presume the only existing European language study covering this conflict would be written in French. This would be a fascinating military conflict study in light of Afghanistan. The Algerian government allegedly infiltrated the more radical of the various Algerian jihadist factions, the GIA, and manipulated it into attacking the other factions while massacring the general population. This effectively played off the various Algerian jihadist factions against each other, depleting the insurgency, while alienating the appeal of the jihadist movement to the general Algerian population. This would be a study of a government doing what he Soviet forces apparently failed to do in Afghanistan.
