Memoirs of Abd-el-Krim, by J. Roger-Mathieu, Héritage Editions

Abd-el-Krim el Khattabi saw his name etched in history by his bravery and determination in his fight for the dignity of his people. A key player in anti-colonialism, the Emir Abd-el-Krim delivered his memoirs to journalist Jacques Roger-Mathieu before his exile to Reunion. The interview between the two protagonists is a real heritage treasure, self-published and printed, at the time, in only thirty-five copies.
