British Pro-Consuls in Egypt,
1914–1929
This book discusses the deeds of four British rulers of Egypt who, during
the years 1914–1929, were removed by the Foreign Ofce ostensibly on
account of their inadequate responses to the challenges of Egyptian
nationalism.
With the First World War and Egypt’s colourful politics as background,
C. W. R. Long tells the story of McMahon, Wingate, Allenby and Lloyd
and their principal opponent, Sa‘ad Zaghlul. The great events of the time
are discussed – the rise of the Wafd Party, the uprising of 1919, the
murder of Sir Lee Stack and the Allenby ultimatum. The author sheds
new light on the strife of members of the Cairo British High Commission
among themselves and with the Foreign Ofce, on the struggle between
Egypt and Britain for ownership of the Sudan, on Egypt’s ght for
independence and on the failure of democracy to take root in the
country.
British Pro-Consuls in Egypt, 1914–1929
will be essential reading for all
those interested in the history and political history of Egypt.
