Authors : تلي رفيق .

Abstract

The historian Yahia Bouaziz has been interested in historical research since the beginning of his career. He is considered to be one of the most prominent pioneers of the Algerian historical school. His career was distinguished by his prolific production in the field of scientific research. This study highlights one of his books, entitled "A Brief History of Algeria", in which he made a great effort to write it. The study investigated the approach of Yahia Bouaziz in writing the modern history of Algeria through his book. It is an important work which has benefited the Algerian Historical Library. In his presentation of the book, Yahia Bouaziz committed himself to accuracy and honesty regarding his information as two necessary key elements to convince the recipient. He also arranged the information which made it logical and increased its proximity to the mind of the reader. Although it has some methodological gaps especially since the period studied suffers from ambiguity and impurities related to it, we seek through the study to show the importance of the book that provided us this valuable and useful information.
