Download or read book The Egyptian Campaigns, 1882 to 1885, and the Events that Led to Them - Volume 1 written by Charles Royle and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2012-04-16 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis British Military Operations in Egypt and the Sudan by : Harold E. Raugh
Download or read book British Military Operations in Egypt and the Sudan written by Harold E. Raugh and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2008-05-02 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British Army's campaigns in Egypt and the Sudan from 1882 to 1899 were among the most dramatic and hard-fought in British military history. In 1882, the British sent an expeditionary force to Egypt to quell the Arabic Revolt and secure British control of the Suez Canal, its lifeline to India. The enigmatic British Major General Charles G. Gordon was sent to the Sudan in 1884 to study the possibility of evacuating Egyptian garrisons threatened by Muslim fanatics, the dervishes, in the Sudan. While the dervishes defeated the British forces on a number of occasions, the British eventually learned to combat the insurrection and ultimately, largely through superior technology and firepower, vanquished the insurgents in 1898. British Operations in Egypt and the Sudan: A Selected Bibliography enumerates and generally describes and annotates hundreds of contemporary, current, and hard-to-find books, journal articles, government documents, and personal papers on all aspects of British military operations in Egypt and the Sudan from 1882 to 1899. Arranged chronologically and topically, chapters cover the various campaigns, focusing on specific battles, leading military personalities, and the contributions of imperial nations as well as supporting services of the British Army. This definitive volume is an indispensable reference for researching imperialism, colonial history, and British military operations, leadership, and tactics.

Book Synopsis Battle of Tofrek by : William Galloway
Download or read book Battle of Tofrek written by William Galloway and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2012-04-11 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reprint of a limited edition of only 500 copies of William Galloway's detailed account of the Battle of Tofrek, fought on March 22nd 1885, an engagement which only narrowly avoided becoming another Isandhlwana - a British military disaster. Tofrek was fought between the advance guard of General Graham's Suakin Field Force under General John McNeil VC, against Muslim Mahdist forces under Osman Dinga in the eastern Sudan. McNeil was seeking to establish a staging post for stores when his mixed force of the 1st Berkshire Regiment, Royal Marines, Engineers and Sikhs was set upon by a large force of Mahdists who had assembled under the cover of surrounding thick thorn bushes, or 'zeriba'. At first the British response was hampered by confusion, dust, and black smoke form their new Martini-Henry rifles, but gradually they rallied in squares, their firepower told, and the enemy, armed with spears and swords, drew off. Arab losses were at least 1,600 and the British lost some 140. With 12 appendices, and 13 illustrations, maps, diagrams etc.
