MOHAMED V, THE SULTAN

France in Morocco, 1925-1945

By: Guillaume Jobin

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

As entrenched in myths as in his previous work, the best-seller Moroccan, "Lyautey, the Resident," Guillaume Jobin this time attacks with a new look on Morocco of the period 1925-1945, centered around Mohamed V, Sultan then King of Morocco, leading the country to its independence.
Independent and without bias, if not that of the reader, the book reveals unknown or little known facts (among others) and dismantles received ideas: - The Catholic maneuvers behind the Berber dahir, - The secret service of His Majesty Mohamed V, - The true choice of the Sultan, - The struggles between the French, - Morocco is not the first country to have recognized the United States, - Lyautey supports the nationalists, - De Gaulle’s indifference towards Morocco, - The legend of the Jewish stars, - Mohamed V and the Germans, - The attempted coup d'état in 1942, - Why doesn’t the left like Morocco? etc.
Guillaume Jobin, a graduate of HEC, was president of the Paris School of Journalism. He lives in Morocco.
