Stolen Lives: Twenty Years in a Desert Jail - Malika Oufkair & Michele Fitoussi

Jun 27, 2007 00:47

This book discusses the story of Malika Oufkair and her family. Malika's daughter was a powerful man in Morocco, and grew to become the minister of defense and the strongest man among the King's people. Malika herself lived with the King's daughter (Mohammad VI) and was treated as one of the King's children.

This did not last though. The minister decided to betray the King (Hasan II) and try to assassinate him. His attempt failed. He was killed, and his family was punished.

This book is really about the punishment they got, and how they suffered. To say that it is painful is an understatement. As much as it was painful to read, I enjoyed it thoroughly.

I do advise each one of you to read it. It does give us this feeling of how valuable our lives are.
