Description
In 1881, the Egyptian army mutinied against the Khedive of Egypt and forced him to appoint Said Ahmed Arabi as Minister of War.
In March 1882, Arabi was made a Pasha and from this time on acted as a dictator.
Arabi demanded that the foreigners be driven out of Egypt and called for the massacre of Christians.
This prompted an armed British response, first in the form of a naval bombardment of Alexandria, and then as an expeditionary force under Lieutenant-General Wolseley.
This book explores the entire campaign, including Sir Wolseley's 'textbook' operation that was planned and executed with masterly competence.
