Raisuni: Sultan De Las Montanas


Rosita Forbes - 1924
    While regarded by foreigners and the Moroccan government as a brigand, some Moroccans considered him a heroic figure, fighting a repressive, corrupt government, while others considered him a thief. Historian David S. Woolman referred to Raisuni as "a combination Robin Hood, feudal baron and tyrannical bandit." He was considered by many as "The last of the Barbary Pirates". This book is the life of el Raisuni, as told to Rosita Forbes.
