The landing of American and British armies in North Africa on November 8, 1942, marked  one of the global turning points of World War II. What is little known is that the Allies’ path was smoothed by an insurrection in Algiers staged by an unlikely band of brothers: mostly Jewish shock troops, fighting to regain their lost citizenship, teamed with a number of French army officers and businessmen, most of whom were archconservative and even antisemitic. While recounting this riveting story, this talk also unlocks the mystery of an improbable short-term alliance with lasting implications.
