Belloc travels through Algeria and reads its landscape as a battleground of civilisations, finding Roman ruins, the Atlas, the desert and the towns of the coast full of memories of Rome and Christendom. His view of Islam is the hostile one of a combative Catholic writer of 1906, and he says so openly.
