The Conquest of Morocco: A Savage Colonial War (1987) By Douglas Porch
 
"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.

Douglas Porch is a military historian and the author of many works of military history, including" The Conquest of Morocco, The French Foreign Legion," "The French Secret Services: From the Dreyfus Affair to the Gulf War," and "The Path to Victory: The Mediterranean Theater in World War II."
 
He is a professor of national security affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.
