Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details Egypt's dramatic political developments and reforms in the 1830s and 1840s, presenting a comprehensive overview of the period. The author, a British diplomat who was a firsthand witness, argues that supporting Egypt under Muhammad Ali's ambitious modernization would be in the best interest of England, safeguarding its economic influence in the East.
