1-997257

Analyzes how Abd el Krim, a Berber leader in the Rif highlands of Morocco, marshaled a pan-tribal uprising that killed some 13,000 Spanish troops, which led to a Franco-Spanish response. Takes a close look at the most deadly colonial conflict of the interwar period. Rare photographs and newly commissioned artwork plates complement detailed examinations of the weapons, equipment, and uniforms of all sides, enhancing the story of the challenge posed to two European armies by a tribal leader who would inspire North African nationalists for years to come.
