What are the best book on anticolonial violence?
I'm looking for the best books, preferably scholarly ones, that detail the use and tactics of anticolonial violence in the colonies themselves. So, like how the FLN used violence and what targets they chose etc. Same with the violent anticolonial movements in India. And even groups like the IRA. General histories are ok, but I'm looking for specific accounts. Thanks!

Re India, the bibliography on the Bhagat Singh wiki page may be a good starting point.

You mentioned the FLN; have you read any Fanon? Wretched of the Earth would be a great place to start.
