The French in North Africa
Soldier, writer, and proconsul, GENERAL AUGUSTIN GLILLYUME was sent to Morocco in the early twenties. He distinguished himself in the period of pacification and again in the 1940s when, under the noses of the German Armistice Commission, he directed the clandestine organization of the Moroccan Goumiers. The General’s capacity for work is limitless, his hours fantastic, his knowledge of North Africa deeply grounded. Certainly as Commissaire General of French Morocco he is well qualified to explain to Americans why the French went to North Africa forty years ago, what they accomplished, and why they must stay.
