Edward Vizetelly (1847 1903) was the son of the publisher Henry
Vizetelly and a perceptive war correspondent. He began his career
for the Daily News and New York Times, covering the Franco-Prussian
War, where he narrowly escaped being shot as a spy. This work,
published in 1901, recounts the next period of his career, with
vivid descriptions of people and places. In 1878, Cyprus was ceded
to Britain by Turkey, and Vizetelly, then in Athens, was sent to
report on the Island, where he remained for four years. In 1882, he
moved to Egypt, where Arab unrest led to the massacre of Europeans
in Cairo and the bombardment of Alexandria by British warships. On
his return to Europe in 1889, he was commissioned by the owner of
the New York Herald to find H. M. Stanley, using Zanzibar as his
base. He concludes with a brief summary of subsequent events in
Africa.
