This book profiles Wilfrid Scawen Blunt’s involvement in the so-called Arabi Revolt in 1882. It addresses Blunt’s tireless efforts on behalf of the Egyptian Nationalists to mediate the differences between Britain and Egypt and prevent a British invasion of Egypt. It highlights what amounted to a government cover-up of the actions of certain governmental officials to precipitate the invasion by falsifying intelligence information and manipulating the press. It also takes to task the scholarly tradition of maligning Blunt and questioning the accuracy of his version of the events of 1882. It is ideal reading for those interested in the field of Middle Eastern, Imperial or Colonial history.
