The Transit of Egypt
Author P. G. Elgood’s 1924 book, Egypt and the Army, illustrated his intimate knowledge and reasoned criticism of the conditions and circumstances which brought the Egyptian Army into being from 1882 onwards, and resulted in the creation of a reliable fighting force when trained and disciplined by carefully selected British officers. The present volume, The Transit of Egypt, which was first published in 1928, “taken in conjunction with Elgood’s book on the Egyptian Army, deals more directly with political events, and these two works contain by far the most useful account of Egypt during the last Great War; they are essential to a proper understanding of the events of 1919 and what led up to them, and to Egypt’s evolution to fully independent status. An invaluable addition to any History library.
Later Dynasties of Egypt
First published in 1951, the present volume is a history of Egypt in its declining years. It details the Pharaonic struggle with the priesthoods over power, the intervention of the Ethiopians and the subsequent invasions by the Assyrians, Chaldeans and the Persians culminating in the arrival of Alexander the Great. “IN writing this book, the author desired, as in his previous work Ptolemies of Egypt, to interest the general reader in the ruling personalities in Egypt during a period when the fate of that country was as intertwined with that of its neighbour states as it is in modern days.”—P. G. Elgood

It was ruled by the Ptolemaic dynasty, which started with Ptolemy I Soter’s accession after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC and which ended with the death of Cleopatra and the Roman conquest in 30 BC. The Ptolemaic Kingdom was founded in 305 BC by Ptolemy I Soter, a diadochus originally from Macedon in northern Greece who declared himself pharaoh of Egypt and created a powerful Macedonian Greek dynasty that ruled an area stretching from southern Syria to Cyrene and south to Nubia. Alexandria, a Greek polis founded by Alexander the Great, became the capital city and a major center of Greek culture and trade. ...
