Hardcover. Condición: Like New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. Charles Duvent (Front-of-Jacket Painting); Sara Eisenman (Jacket Design); David Lindroth (Maps) Ilustrador. 1st American Edition. 335 + xii + pp. Stated first American edition! An excellent, spotlessly clean copy! Clean, fresh, sharp, tight, essentially and virtually flawless copy with crisp pages, clean text, and very light shelf wear. Dust jacket shows minor wear around edges. Synopsis: At the turn of the century, the African country closest to Europe geographically was probably the least known. Morocco was a nation yet to emerge from the Middle Ages, violent and primitive, a place ruled by local warlords out of mud castles, and swept by religious fanaticism. "To strike out from Tangiers," writes Douglas Porch, "was to enter a time capsule~emperors, slaves, harems, fortified towns, filth, superstition, blood feuds, and barbarism." Yet in the mad scramble for African colonies, backward and poverty stricken Morocco had one great attraction: it was available. In 1903, with the posting to Africa of one of the oddest of all French military figures, General Hubert Lyautey (royalist, strategist, homosexual), France undertook to change this state of affairs, and by the time World War I broke out the conquest was virtually complete. In The Conquest of Morocco, Douglas Porch tells the story of France's last great colonial adventure with the appropriate mixture of wit, energy, and richness of detail. Here is the country itself, exotic and vulnerable, barren yet surprisingly beautiful~the fantastic old cities like Marrakech and Fez (which looked, in the words of a traveler, "like a mysterious altar raised in an immense landscape to an unknown cult" and was overrun by rats "of a most repulsive variety, with pink feet") . the extreme political corruption . the habits and customs that so shocked Europeans ("Sodomy is not a vice in Morocco," noted one visitor, "it is almost a virtue"). Here are the rulers and the pretenders: Sultan Abd el~Aziz, so obsessed with mechanical bric~a~brac that he installed an elevator in his one~story palace . . . EI Glaoui, whose possession of a single Krupp 77 cannon made every fortress in the High Atlas obsolete . the magician and mimic Bou Hamara, who by clever forgeries and great gall nearly gained the throne . the bandit called El Raisuni, whose kidnapping of an improbable Greek businessman led to the dispatch of an American naval squadron . and more. And here are the conquering generals and their motley troops, ranging from legionnaires (mostly Germans) to Senegalese tirailleurs to the African Light Infantry, the Bats d' Af, a sweeping of French delinquents and petty criminals generally referred to as les joyeux because they were always complaining. ("People speak of 60,000 men in Morocco," Lyautey once complained, "forgetting that I have only 12,000 Frenchmen.") Porch's command of the military history is profound and expert. We see the campaign gradually expand from small clashes at Saharan outposts to wild battles involving thousands of men (and often as not, on the Moroccan side women, children, and animals too, all of whom usually accompanied the huge, shambling "army" called a harka); the bombardment of Casablanca; the sieges of Fez; the final tenuous pacification of the desert tribes. It was a new kind of war, and we see how in fighting it the French found it necessary to develop a revolutionary blend of force and diplomacy that would anticipate the tactics used a half century later in Algeria and Vietnam. Based upon extensive original research, supported by deep understanding of contemporary politics and personalities, written with narrative flair and a keen sense of anecdote.
