"How did Britain as an industrialized and powerful nation deal with Morocco as a Muslim-Arab and non-industrial nation during the second half of the nineteenth century? This book looks at this question in relation to the life and work of John Drummond Hay, British Consul-General to Morocco from 1845-1886. Using a range of primary documents and correspondence, this book throws significant light on the role Britain played during this period in Moroccan affairs."--BOOK JACKET.
