Reviews
'Michael Willis has sought to encompass the political evolution of the three core countries that make up the Maghreb - Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco - in terms of how power has been articulated and exercised there from independence until the present day. - This is a bold and ambitious attempt to treat the Maghreb as a region with parallel, yet individual national experiences that must be treated together to define the region's specificities and to highlight its common experiences. Indeed, it is this approach that gives this study much of its originality. - This should become an essential introductory reading for everybody interested in North Africa, whether for academic or professional purposes.' * George Joffe, Research Fellow at the Department of Politics and International Studies, University of Cambridge *
