The war in Mali is incomprehensible unless the testimony of its direct participants is combined with an in-depth reflection on the long-term instability of the Sahel region. Mali, a Peace to be Won presents for the first time the previously unpublished accounts of officers who held operational commands during the first weeks of the engagement. These after-action reviews cover the full spectrum of responsibilities assumed under fire by officers of the French Army. One key idea emerges: if the French Army managed to provisionally stabilise an immense territory despite the shortcomings of its equipment, it is because it relied on a geocultural approach that defines its specificity. For officers and professors of the French Army, there is no doubt that the political stabilisation of Mali cannot be achieved without genuine acknowledgement of its cultural fault lines. Without this, peace would remain very fragile. Throughout the pages, academic articles and military testimonies resonate with one another, offering a glimpse of the contours of a French art of war — the very one that today commands the admiration of our allies without, however, disturbing the easy complacency of our own public opinion.
