Summary: An awful book that you should avoid!
Comment: ...as someone who has spent nearly a decade in Morocco let me tell you, "don't buy this book"! It is filled with trivia and several false statements. For instance, on page 247 the author states that 'until recently, additional income was provided by a large naval and military base [Kenitra], shared with the US, but the Americans left after the Gulf War...' Well, this is absolutely not true. The Kenitra Base was closed in 1978 and the last naval activity there was the taking of the [then Port-Lyautey] airfield by US forces during Operation Torch in WWII. This, in turn, is followed by a derogatory comment about "a rather sad array of bars, pizza joints, and discos [that] struggle along in their wake" which indicates that the author of this section not only failed to research his subject...
Therefore, if the authors didn't even take the time to verify these facts then just how reliable can you expect the rest of the book to be?
