    Summary:

    In the summer of 1940, following France's surrender to Germany, Casablanca was transformed from an exotic travel destination to a key military target. It soon became rife with rogue soldiers, Jewish refugees, celebrities, and Nazi agents. In 1942, Americans and British arrived, and the port soon saw power grabs, plot twists, and diplomatic intrigue. Destination Casablanca is the riveting and untold history of this glamorous and beloved city, memorialized in the classic film, at the heart of World War II.
