Biography of Charles de Foucauld French Army Officer who served in N
Africa. He later became intensely religious (Christian) and set up a hermitage in
Tamanrasset in mountains of central Algeria. He was involved in French
colonialization of N Africa and outside the of this biography one can
glean a lot of information on European influence in north Africa. De
Foucauld was eventually killed by a group who thought that they could
re-take north Africa from the French while they were distracted by WWI.
His hermitage still exists in Tamanrasset, capital of Tamanrasset Province in southern Algeria, in the Ahaggar Mountains.
