نبذة الناشر:Written by a foreign correspondent resident in Morocco since 1952 Morocco under King Hassan is an impartial chronicle of the major events in the North African Kingdom during this period, relating how the king, who claimed to be a direct descendent of the Prophet Muhammad, reigned for more than thirty ...years, despite attempts by leftists, the military and Muslim fundamentalists to overthrow him.
Due to strict press laws, no dispassionate account of the country and its monarchy has ever been published before. Morocco under King Hassan is a journalist's objective view of a country he has lived in for nearly fifty years. The book covers the nationalist struggle for independence, conflicts with neighbouring Algeria, the guerilla war in Western Sahara and all other major political, economic and social developments that have turned Morocco into a modern multiparty democracy with a liberal economic system, unique in the Arab world.
Designed as a handbook for both the specialist and the general reader interested in twentieth-century Morocco, Morocco under King Hassan provides much-needed insight into the inner workings of an extraordinary and complex country.
