This is the fascinating biography of Emir Abd el-Kader (1807-1883), the heroic Arab who led the resistance to the French conquest of Algeria. He was a brilliant military strategist, superb horseman, and renowned Muslim leader. Known for kindness towards his enemies, he became an international celebrity in his own time.

Advance Praise

"This book introduces us to a true Muslim hero, a man who combined the best qualities of a freedom fighter and a peacemaker. Often called the George Washington of Algeria, the Emir Abd el-Kader led his people in a long fight to resist the French conquest and colonization of their country. . . .
