Produktbeschreibung
In the middle of the 20th century, Morocco developed an expansionist plan to take advantage of the weak international position of Spain and to conquer Spanish Sahara in seven months. This war, which went largely unnoticed among the Spanish public, was one of the bloodiest for the Spanish army: 300 dead from a battalion of 8,000 soldiers. The ineptitude and inefficiency of the high ranking Spanish officials provoked defeat from the very beginning. Not even the visits of celebrities like Gila or Carmen Sevilla were enough to inspire the demoralized troops. Even the most equipped naval fleets could barely withstand the siege on Spanish Sahara. As a result, Spain quickly lost its colonies in Africa. Take an inside look at this thrilling period of history with the help of two experts, Carlos Canales and Miguel del Rey, who relate this last Spanish-Moroccan confrontation in a reader friendly, but intellectually sound manner.
