Summary "The Passing of Morocco" by Frederick Ferdinand Moore is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The author chronicles his experiences as a special correspondent during a tumultuous period in Morocco, focusing on the political unrest and conflicts surrounding French invasion and control over the region. The narrative provides insights into the local culture, tribal conflicts, and the impacts of colonialism from the perspective of a foreign observer. The opening of the work introduces the author’s arrival in Gibraltar and subsequent journey to Morocco, highlighting his anticipation of observing the brewing conflicts firsthand. He describes the social dynamics at play, including tensions between Muslims and Europeans, and portrays a vivid picture of the landscape as he arrives in Tangier. The initial chapters set the stage for the unfolding events, hinting at the mix of adventure and peril that awaits him while detailing the environment and local characters he encounters along the way. The account promises a blend of personal insights and historical commentary, making it a valuable read for those interested in colonial history and cultural explorations.
