Excerpt from The Gateway to the Sahara: Adventures and Observations in Tripoli Nowhere in Northern Africa can the life Of town, oasis, and desert be found more native and typical than in Tripolitania. How long before the primitive customs of this people will give way before the progressive aggression of some Christian power, and the picture Of an ancient patriarchal life be tarnished with the cheap veneer of a commercial vanguard, may be answered any morning by the cable news of the daily paper. The great dynamic forces of modern civiliza tion cause events to march with astounding swiftness. Tripoli, in Barbary, is already in the eye of Europe; to-morrow the Tripoli of to-day may have vanished. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Tripoli, as the northern focus of three great caravan routes, was a natural gateway to the Sahara. The American traveller, Charles Wellington Furlong visited that 'most native of the barbary capitals' in 1904, before the advent of modern communications changed the centuries-old pace of life. His inquiring mind and fluent pen present the reader with a most colourful and absorbing account of this peculiarly individual North African city. More than that, the author extends his sphere of interest to take in the adjacent desert and its inhabitants. In order to discover the hardships and dangers of desert travel for himself, he made a series of journeys through this 'great land of sand and silence', accompanied by three Arab guides. He trekked across the scorching desert sand by day and slept under the feathered branches of oasis date palms at night. One day, he encountered a vast caravan of richly laden camels with their Arab traders; on another he glimpsed the shadowy forms of bandits trailing him through a rocky ravine. On one occasion he barely escaped with his life. The reader will find much of interest in this compelling narrative.

In the mid-nineteenth century, French colonial leaders in Algeria started southward into the Sahara, beginning a fifty-year period of violence. Lying in the shadow of the colonization of northern Algeria, which claimed the lives of over a million people, French empire in the Sahara sought power through physical force as it had elsewhere; yet violence in the Algerian Sahara followed a more complicated logic than the old argument that it was simply a way to get empire on the cheap. A Desert Named Peace examines colonial violence through multiple stories and across several fields of research. It presents four cases: the military conquests of the French army in the oases and officers' predisposition to use extreme violence in colonial conflicts; a spontaneous nighttime attack made by Algerian pastoralists on a French village, as notable for its brutality as for its obscure causes; the violence of indigenous forms of slavery and the colonial accommodations that preserved it during the era of abolition; and the struggles of French Romantics whose debates about art and politics arrived from Paris with disastrous consequences. Benjamin Claude Brower uses these different perspectives to reveal the unexpected causes of colonial violence, such as France's troubled revolutionary past and its influence on the military's institutional culture, the aesthetics of the sublime and its impact on colonial thinking, the ecological crises suffered by Saharan pastoralists under colonial rule, and the conflicting paths to authority inherent in Algerian Sufism. Directly engaging a controversial history, A Desert Named Peace offers an important backdrop to understanding the Algerian war for independence (1954-1962) and Algeria's ongoing internal war, begun in 1992, between the government and armed groups that claim to fight for an Islamist revolution.
