Algerian war sources even disagree over key meeting dates

Evidence

Perhaps the best of much advice I received in the preparation of this book came from another of Algeria’s top ambassadors abroad. “Be absolutely honest,” he said, “and admit it if you have only seen part of the picture.” For the very real difficulties outlined above, I cannot claim to have seen anything like the “whole picture”; but it may be open to doubt whether anyone—French, Algerian or outsider—could do so at this moment. Possibly now no one ever will. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 17 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
