Tel El-Kebir 1882: Wolseley's Conquest of Egypt (Out of print)
| AUTHOR | Featherstone, Donald |
| PUBLISHER | Osprey Publishing (UK) (05/20/2013) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | eBook (Open Ebook) |
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.
