James Farmer Author – Morocco
A Remembrance Of Childhood
About The Book
Morocco
Are you ready to take a magic carpet ride through times, places, and events so fantastical that many won’t even seem real? This book is a remembrance of my formative years, ages 5 to 7, growing up as the son of a U.S. Navy pilot in Port Lyautey, French Morocco, during the mid-1950s, at a time when Morocco was the epicenter of native populations struggling to rid themselves of their colonial overlords and the United States Cold War efforts to deter and contain the Soviet Union through aerial reconnaissance and nuclear weapons.
About The Author
After obtaining a BA from Cornell University, and an MCRP and LLB from Ohio State University, James B. Farmer practiced corporate law for several corporations and law firms. After almost forty years of solving other people’s problems, he decided that the best kind of lawyer is a “retired lawyer,” who now has the time to write the books he’d always wanted to write.

This is a thought-provoking memoir. I loved pondering the choices made by the author’s younger self, imagining the world he inhabited, and considering the intellectual ideas he raised. The exploration of the mother/son relationship, the wry humor, and the gorgeous voice have stayed with me.
