President de Gaulle signed the Evian Accords with the Algerian Independence Movement, the FLN, sixty years ago next month.

Edward Stourton tells the story of how France greeted tens of thousands of French and Algerians who, virtually overnight, felt they had no choice but to leave Algeria. They feared for their future, and even for their lives.

But the idea that many of them were simply 'coming back' to their homeland was far from the truth.
