Revolution remade Egypt and empire. In this powerful continuation of A. A. Paton's egyptian history classic, Volume II traces how a land ruled by Mameluke beys moved towards the centralising ambition of Mohammed Ali, drawing on Arab and European memoirs, oral testimony and on-the-ground research to create a vivid narrative history of Egypt. Written close to the events it describes, this primary source history book unfolds the political struggles and shifting loyalties that shaped 18th 19th century Egypt, from mamluk period egypt politics to the transformative muhammad ali pasha era and the first waves of egyptian modernisation and reform. Paton writes as a keen observer of ottoman era egypt, attentive to the courts, barracks and bazaars where power was contested, and to Egypt's changing position within the wider Ottoman world. His deeply informed yet accessible prose speaks both to middle east history students and to general readers drawn to narrative-driven middle east history classics. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Scholars of egyptian history and ottoman empire history readers gain a meticulously documented contemporaneous account; collectors of classic non-fiction gain more than a reference work, but a compelling window into an age when Egypt stood at the crossroads of empire, reform and resistance.
