The Assassination of Jacques Lemaigre Dubreuil

A Frenchman between France and North Africa

By: William A. Hoisington, Jr.

This is a political biography of the French industrialist and political activist Jacques Lemaigre Dubreuil (1894-1955), president of the Taxpayers' Federation in the 1930s, entrepreneur in wartime France and Africa, organizer of the 'Group of Five' in Algiers which prepared for the Allied landings in North Africa (November 1942), 'inventor' of General Henri Giraud as a candidate for the leadership of liberated North and West Africa, negotiator of the Murphy-Giraud Agreements and the Anfa Memorandum with President Roosevelt (1942 and 1943), political writer on the postwar future of France in Morocco and the owner of the liberal newspaper Maroc-Presse. He was assassinated in Casablanca by French counter-terrorists in June 1955, a 'turning point' event which pushed the French government to grant independence to Morroco. Was he a rabble-rouser, a demagogue, a betrayer of French interests at home and overseas or a reformer, a patriot, a hero of the anti-German resistance, and a champion of Franco-Moroccan solidarity?

The Casablanca Connection

French Colonial Policy, 1936–1943

By: William A Hoisington Jr.

The Casablanca Connection examines France's colonial policy in Morocco from the Popular Front to the end of the Vichy regime in North Africa, relating it to overall French imperial policy and placing it in a European and world context. At the center of this study is General Charles Nogues, resident general of Morocco from 1936 to 1943, who, during this period, provided the protectorate with purpose, authority, direction, and continuity. Nogues restored the precepts of colonial rule established in Morocco twenty-four years earlier by Marshal Hubert Lyautey, France's most illustrious soldier-administrator. Nogues's accomplishments made Morocco stronger for France than it had been in a decade. This "French peace," however, was disturbed by the Spanish Civil War and World War II, and Nogues's well-intentioned but misguided decisions during this time ended his career amidst charges of collaboration and anti-Allied sentiment. Nevertheless, William A. Hoisington Jr. argues, Nogues had interpreted Lyautey's lessons with talent and originality. Originally published in 1984.
