On 14 August 1844, French and Moroccan armies collided at the
Battle of Isly, marking the beginning of Morocco's incorporation
within the rising orbit of European imperialism. A hundred years
later, French and Moroccan soldiers fought side by side for the
liberation of France. When resisting foreign domination, Moroccans
demonstrated the same endurance they had shown when serving the
cause of the colonial power which had gained control over them. The
27-year-long French conquest of Morocco was one of the longest and
toughest challenges in the annals of European colonialism. Once
occupied, however, Morocco became the supplier of one of the finest
contingents of colonial troops. Both sides of this intriguing
equation form the substance of this book. It presents a
comprehensive analysis of French colonial ideology and interest in
Morocco and delineates the manner in which the agents of the
protectorate regime sought to conquer the country and control its
indigenous inhabitants.
Although focusing on a French military policy in Morocco, numerous
comparative perspectives are offered placing the French policy
towards Morocco in a wider context making this study relevant to
not only North Africa, but also to other parts of the post-colonial
world.
