Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A royal gift. A constitutional dilemma. A revealing chapter in the long history of Moroccan-American diplomacy.In 1839, Sultan Abd al-Rahman of Morocco sent an extraordinary gift to the president of the United States: a lion and lioness. To the Moroccan court, the animals represented sovereign generosity, honor, and friendship. To the American consul in Tangier, they created an immediate problem. The United States Constitution restricted federal officials from accepting presents from foreign rulers without congressional consent, yet refusing the Sultan's gift risked causing a diplomatic insult.The result was one of the most unusual episodes in the history of American diplomacy.The Sultan's Lions reconstructs the remarkable journey of these animals from the Moroccan royal court to the American consulate in Tangier, across the Atlantic, and ultimately to public auction in Philadelphia. Along the way, their story draws in consuls, interpreters, presidents, Congress, merchants, sailors, and government officials struggling to reconcile two very different political traditions.But the lions are only part of the story.Abdeslem El Idrissi places their journey within the broader transformation of Moroccan-American relations during the nineteenth century. The book follows the survival of the friendship after the death of Sultan Sidi Mohammed ibn Abdallah, the growth of the American consular presence in Tangier, the renewal of the Moroccan-American treaty in 1836, and the increasingly difficult international environment created by European expansion in North Africa.From the French conquest of Algeria and the bombardment of Tangier to the growth of foreign protection, commercial privilege, the Cape Spartel Convention, and the Madrid Conference of 1880, the world surrounding the old Moroccan-American relationship was changing rapidly. The United States did not pursue a colonial project in Morocco, but its diplomats operated within the same treaty system through which foreign rights, jurisdiction, and commercial privileges increasingly affected Moroccan sovereignty.Drawing on diplomatic correspondence, presidential messages, congressional records, treaty texts, government accounts, newspapers, and modern historical scholarship, The Sultan's Lions reveals diplomacy not only as the work of treaties and formal declarations, but as the daily management of misunderstanding, ceremony, law, expense, personal judgment, and cultural difference.The lions themselves eventually disappeared from the official record.The relationship did not.The Sultan's Lions is Volume III of Morocco and America: Stories from the Oldest Enduring Friendship in U.S. Foreign Relations, a six-volume series tracing Moroccan-American relations from the era of the American Revolution to the twenty-first century. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1402, the Christian city of Constantinople is under attack by a Muslim army. With surrender in the wind, the spoils are to be the key to the city and the 14-year-old Princess Theodota. In the twists and turns of historical fact, Geoffrey Fox delivers A Gift for the Sultan, a dramatic, fact-based novel that probes the cultural and religious life of the early 15th century and the leaders-royals, military figures, and politicians-who engaged in a religious conflict to the death. Weaving into his story a cast of historical figures-Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos, his nephew Ioannes, the vezir Ali Pasha, Ottoman Sultan Bayezid, and Muslim khan Timur, among others-Fox entices readers into an era that shone a harsh light on a level of Christian-Muslim discord that changed the course of world history. Fox deftly writes of a complicated time, yet with such clarity that readers feel themselves in Constantinople and observing first-hand the unfolding drama. This item is printed on demand.
