Description

The Tharaud brothers' unique perspective on history began in 1917, when they were summoned from the Western Front to Morocco by Lyautey, the Resident-General of the French Protectorate. A delicate balancing act ensued as Lyautey worked with powerful tribal lords to maintain peace and preserve Morocco's cultural heritage. The colonial conquest of Morocco had been put on hold in 1914, but Lyautey's policy aimed to avoid past mistakes in Algeria. Instead, he sought to protect Morocco's historical architecture, faith, and culture for future generations. This nuanced approach allowed the Tharaud brothers to witness history firsthand. Their experiences offer a fascinating insight into this pivotal period in Moroccan history.
