Malika Oufkir, Stolen Lives: Twenty Years in a Desert Jail Review

I' have finished reading the book by Malika Oufkir, stolen lives...20 years in a desert jail. Although no literary masterpiece and making no overtures to want to be, it is the harrowing story of people jailed in the middle of the desert and surviving. As a black South African i though i was used to hearing and listening about friends dying in jail, being jailed, being kept under house arrest for years without end, solitary confinement that it gets "easier" after a time. The fact that it doesn't happen in South-Africa any more, must not make us less vigilant and desensitised to what is happening in the rest of the world. I am so engrossed in the Moroccan history now that i wish to find out more about who General Oufkir was (responsible directly for his family's demise) and stumbled upon a book that will explain the coup on king Hassan II, the spy wore silk. Please read malika oufkir's book
