The Suez Canal and the Liberal Government: Or The Policy of Deceit is a historical book written by H. B. in 1884. The book provides a comprehensive account of the political events and decisions that led to the construction of the Suez Canal, a man-made waterway that connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. The author argues that the Liberal government of the United Kingdom, led by William Ewart Gladstone, engaged in a policy of deceit and manipulation to gain control of the canal.The book begins by describing the strategic importance of the Suez Canal to the British Empire and its trade routes. The author then delves into the negotiations and agreements between the British government and the Egyptian ruler, Ismail Pasha, that led to the construction of the canal. H. B. argues that the Liberal government used underhanded tactics to secure control of the canal, including bribes and false promises.The author also discusses the role of other European powers, such as France and Germany, in the construction and control of the Suez Canal. He argues that the Liberal government's policies were motivated by a desire to maintain British dominance in the region and to prevent other European powers from gaining control of the canal.Overall, The Suez Canal and the Liberal Government: Or The Policy of Deceit provides a detailed and critical analysis of the political and economic factors that shaped the construction and control of one of the most important waterways in the world. The book is a valuable resource for historians, political scientists, and anyone interested in the history of British imperialism and global trade.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
