Secret history of the English occupation of Egypt

A longtime eyewitness and participant presents a personal narrative of the events leading to and following the English occupation of Egypt, assembling memoir, letters, journals, and documentary material to contest official accounts. The author details his interactions with key Egyptian figures, describes the political unrest and subsequent military intervention, and gives an account of the trial of the nationalist leader commonly associated with the revolt. Revisions made with the cooperation of a prominent Egyptian religious scholar appear alongside documentary appendices and occasional poetic material. The work aims to correct misunderstandings, provide corroborating evidence, and prompt re‑examination of the moral and political choices involved.
