The Powder Monkey of Algiers

By Dan Douglass

January 1957, Algiers. Caught up in a colonial battle marked by treachery, discrimination and torture, 15 year-old Simeon Abu struggles to find out where his father's true loyalties lie. Subjected to the controlling influence of a brutal French army captain, Simeon's own actual and psychological journey is echoed through the labyrinthine twists and turns of the Casbah and La Zone autonome d'Alger. His search leads to a series of revelations that will blow his family's world wide open and set Simeon on his own path to independence.
