Morocco! Out of the Orient, into Africa… Vignettes of Life and Adventure… A War Correspondent’s Story... Casablanca Notebook is a lively collection of tales about the adventures and misadventures of Americans, Europeans and Moroccans in that storied city and country. In some vignettes the capers of local characters are imbued with rascality; in others one observes the sometimes hilarious, sometimes heart-rending adventures of Americans abroad. The longest tale tells of the author's experience as the only female correspondent covering the War in the Sahara. Confronted by centuries of anti-feminist tradition, she summoned up bare-faced bravura and wily tricks of diplomacy to get her dispatches out. Twenty-three original line drawings by the author depict Moroccan subjects from camels to casbahs!

(Against a backdrop of oriental exoticism, American journa...)
Against a backdrop of oriental exoticism, American journalist Marc Lamont covers Morocco's war against rebels in the Sahara. Duped by the beautiful spy Aysha, he is kidnapped and taken on a spine-chilling drive to the insurgents' desert headquarters in Algeria. Learning that their "struggle" for independence is phony, he escapes with the disillusioned Aysha to reveal the truth to the world. In Malta, Aysha helps Marc uncover a related Qadhafi plot with roots in the U.S. State Department and exposes a traitor in Washington, saving Morocco from defeat and possible take-over. The story will enthrall those who revel in tales of high adventure with a strong dose of historical truth.
