'The Secret History of the English Occupation of Egypt' is an inside look at the political machinations that were shaping Britain's diplomacy in a turbulent time. First published in 1871, Egypt was in political turmoil, as Britain stepped in ostensibly to take control of a nation which owed it vast sums of money. But there were other reasons, and deeper complications, which the author details through the course of this fascinating work.
Wilfred Scawen Blunt was a British diplomat, poet and writer. He was married to Byron's granddaughter, and was a friend and advisor to Winston Churchill and W.B. Yeats. He served as ambassador to the Middle East for ten years and, during that time, became a champion for the independence of the colonial states.
