This book covers the tenure of Kitchener as Proconsul in Egypt in
the years preceding the First World War. Based mostly on
unpublished sources - including government records and private
papers - it not only fills a gap in the life and career of
Kitchener, the most famous soldier in Britain since Wellington, but
it also deals with an important but practically unknown period in
Egyptian history. George Cassar shows Kitchener to be an ardent
imperialist, but one who had a sense of responsibility to the
country he governed. Exchanging his field marshal's uniform for the
dress of a statesman, he arrived in Egypt when British prestige was
at a low point on account of his predecessor's policies. He
restored political stability, created conditions that bolstered the
economy, and introduced a wave of reforms. Kitchener as Proconsul
of Egypt, 1911-1914 reveals how Kitchener's interest extended
beyond Egypt, and how throughout these years he worked quietly to
prepare the ground in an attempt to create an Arab Empire under
Britain's suzerainty.
