Includes bibliographical references (pages [169]-176) and index.
"This is a study of a forgotten patriot - now ranked as a national hero in Morocco - who struggled to realise his vision for France and North Africa amidst the turmoil of mid-twentieth century social unrest, war, defeat and occupation, resistance and liberation, and post-war decolonisation." "The assassination of the French industrialist and political activist Jacques Lemaigre Dubreuil in Casablanca by French counter-terrorists in June 1955, was a 'turning point' event which pushed the French government to grant independence to Morocco. Was he a rabble-rouser, a demagogue, a betrayer of French interests at home and overseas or a reformer, a patriot, a hero of the anti-German resistance and a champion of Franco-Moroccan solidarity?"
"This story is of interest to students and researchers in modern French and Moroccan history, French Colonial history, African history, Islamic history and politics."--BOOK JACKET.
