Description:
Westport, Connecticut: Praeger, 2005. 1st Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket. 7x0x9. First printing. Minor general wear. 2005 Hard Cover. 96 pp. In 1881 the Egyptian army mutinied from 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. Impassioned demands of Arabi that the foreigner be driven out of Egypt and massacres of Christians 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. Sir Garnet Wolseley's campaign, completed in just four and a half weeks, was an almost "textbook" operation, carefully planned and executed with masterly competence.

Tel El-Kebir 1882 Wolseley's Conquest of Egypt (Praeger Illustrated Military History) Hardcover - 2005
by Donald Featherstone
First line
When, in 1882, Lieutenant-General Sir Garnet Wolseley led a British military expedition to Egypt, fought and deposed the dictator Arabi Pasha and restored the country to the Khedive, it foreshadowed events of exactly one hundred years later when a British task force went out to the Falkland Islands, conquered the troops of an Argentinian dictator, Galtieri, and returned the islands to British sovereignty.
