Sand swirls, cannons roar, and empires clash in "The Egyptian Campaigns, 1882 to 1885." Join historian Charles Royle on a journey deep into a pivotal chapter of North African history. Witness the rise of nationalist movements, the clash of European powers, and the desperate struggle for control of the Nile. Uncover the stories of legendary figures - from pashas to prophets - who shaped the destiny of a region. This immersive audiobook sheds light on a complex conflict, filled with bravery, betrayal, and the echoes of a bygone era. Prepare to be transported to the heart of the Egyptian desert, where empires toppled and legends were born.
The Egyptian Campaigns, 1882 to 1885, and the Events that Led to Them - Volume 1
Volume 1 of 2. This is the standard, two-volume history of one of the classic, albeit largely disastrous, campaigns of Victorian military history - the attempt to impose British rule or influence on Egypt and the trackless wastes of the Sudan which, then as now, despite much-trumpeted victories, proved implacably hostile to foreign intervention. The climax of the story is the tragic saga of Charles Gordon, the charismatic, eccentric, though fatally flawed British General, whose death at Khartoum provoked a belated expedition down the Nile in a futile rescue attempt. Royle's history is a model account. A barrister and not a military man himself, he is unsparing of the political mistakes of successive British administrations - Liberal and Conservative - to deal with Egypt. Vol. 1 of the history traces the political background, and the Egyptian Col. Arabi's revolt against British dominance. This in turn provoked a major British intervention designed to protect investment in the newly-built and vital Suez Canal. Military operations included the siege and partial destruction of Alexandria, the battle of Tel-el-Kebir and the capture of Cairo.
