Description

The Conquest of Moroccotells the story of France's last great colonial adventure. At the turn of the 20th century, Morocco was a nation yet to emerge from the Middle Ages, ruled by local warlords & riven by religious fanaticism. But in the mad scramble for African colonies, Morocco had one great attraction for the Europeans: it was available. In 1903, France undertook to conquer the exotic & backward country. By the time WWI broke out the conquest was virtually complete. Based on extensive original research,The Conquest of Moroccois a splendid work of popular history.
