One of the most influential forces of the English Reformation, William Tyndale’s life’s work had been to produce a carefully translated Bible that could be read in the language of the ordinary people of England.

30 September 1956. For over a century Algeria has been a colony of France, and the Algerians are fed up with it. A young Algerian woman visits a bar in the European quarter of Algiers. She orders an ice cream, plants a bomb underneath her chair and leaves the establishment. Three people are killed and many more are injured. President de Gaulle acknowledges that Algeria as a French colony is untenable and grants the Algerians their independence, much to the discontent of some nationalistic French, who organise themselves in a secret army: the Organisation Armée Secrète (OAS). How does an OAS veteran look back on his assassination attempt on President de Gaulle? In what way is the ideology of the OAS still alive and inspiring new extreme-right organisations? And how important are the apologies by the current French president to the Algerian people who have long suffered the French oppression? Part 2 of 6.
