The sultan of the mountains: the life story of Raisuli
In the rugged Atlas Mountains of early 20th-century Morocco, one man's name struck fear and fascination into the hearts of both locals and foreign powers. Rosita Forbes chronicles the extraordinary true story of Ahmad Raysuni, the legendary Berber chieftain who defied sultans and colonial forces alike through cunning, courage, and an iron will that earned him the title "Sultan of the Mountains."

“Profoundly intelligent, with a knowledge of human nature, whether European or Arab, which is the result of unusual powers of observation, but which, to the Moor, appears supernatural, the Sherif's audacity is as much mental as physical. He believes in the luck which invariably turns the most adverse circumstances to his final advantage, and is not above staking his remarkable immunity from danger against the credulity of his followers, but below this is the conviction of divine right.””
— Forbes, Rosita
