Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and turbulent history of Tangier, a port city in Morocco, during its brief period under English control in the 17th century. The author meticulously reconstructs this forgotten chapter of colonial history, drawing on a wealth of previously unpublished documents and letters, including official correspondence and personal journals. Set against the backdrop of intense European competition for New World dominance, the narrative explores the strategic importance of Tangier as a coveted outpost in the Mediterranean. It examines the complex political machinations that led to its acquisition by England, the challenges faced by the English garrison in establishing themselves amidst a hostile population, and the constant threat posed by Barbary pirates and neighboring Moorish forces. Through vivid descriptions and insightful analysis, the book sheds light on the multifaceted aspects of life in Tangier, from the intricacies of governance and military strategy to the everyday experiences of soldiers and civilians. It delves into the cultural clashes, economic struggles, and personal rivalries that marked this unique period. Ultimately, the book offers a poignant reflection on the fleeting nature of colonial ambitions and the enduring legacy of cultural encounters, reminding us of the complexities and contradictions inherent in the pursuit of power and influence on foreign shores.
