"The conquest of Morocco was a great game--a picaresque war of modern times . . . Porch has brought it all back, including the Camel Corps and the never-never land of Sidi Bararni. Throw in von Sternberg and Dietrich-Charles Boyer, too-and what a movie it might have made." --The Boston Globe
"A colorful account. . .Douglas Porch tells the story of the conquest of Morocco with wit, wisdom and a proper appreciation of the accidents of history." --The New York Times Book Review
"[An] exotic and bravura popular history." --Newsweek
"A lively chronicle . . . A good and valuable book." --The Washington Post Book World
"Porch applies his considerable wit and notable literary style to an exciting story ringing with ancient and modern war cries." --The Chicago Sun Times
"An entertaining history." --The Atlantic Monthly
The Conquest of Morocco tells the story of France's last great colonial adventure. At the turn of the twentieth century, Morocco was a nation yet to emerge from the Middle Ages, ruled by local warlords and 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 and backward country. By the time World War I broke out the conquest was virtually complete.
Based on extensive original research, The Conquest of Morocco is a splendid work of popular history.
