Commander of the Faithful The Life and Times of Emir Abd El -Kader, by John W. Kiser (read 12 Aug 2011) This book is well-researched and tells of the life and thoughts of Abd El-Kader. who strove mightily against the French when in 1830 and the years thereafter they set out to conquer Algeria. When Abd El-Kader saw further resistance was futile he surrendered upon being promised he could live in the Middle East. Instead, France broke its word and held him prisoner in France for years, until Napoleon III allowed him to leave France. He lived a life of tolerance and was in opposition to Islamic intolerance. The town of Elkader, Iowa, is named for him--the only town in the U.S. named for him. The town sponsors an essay contest each year for high school students and a student of my daughter won that contest this year. Anyone interested in Algeria and its history will appreciate this book.
