A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A well-researched biography of Emir Abd El-Kader, the Muslim warriorsaint who led the Algerian resistance to French colonization in the mid-19th century. Commander of the Faithful continues to garner significant critical reviews. The town of Elkader, IA has implemented a yearly contest for high school students on the best essay on the the life of Abd El-Kader. At that same time the Urdu rights have been sold and plans are to publish the book in Pakastan where it will be distributed to madrasas whose leadership consider it to be a prophytlactic against terrorism. A specialized media organization has been retained to create a publicized link between the town of Elkader and a still to be determined village in Pakastan.
