Description
Historical research which throws light on the consequences of the Napoleonic invasion of Egypt set in motion forces in 1798 which were, the author argued when this book was originally published in 1928, still at work in the East and West. The book traces the diplomatic history of the events which led to the rise of Mehemet Ali, the founder of modern Egypt and was based on meticulous research of source material in British and French archives.
