Kavalali Mehmed Ali Pasha (c. 1770-1849), often dubbed "the founder
of modern Egypt", was one of the most important figures in the
history of the Ottoman Empire. Born in what is now Greece, and
seemingly headed for an everyday existence as a tobacco trader, he
joined the Ottoman army at the age of thirty, and went on to become
both the leader of Egypt for nearly fifty years and the founder of
a dynasty that ruled for a century after his death. In this
insightful and well-constructed biography, Khaled Fahmy assesses
the renowned ruler's life, and his significant contribution to
Egyptian, Ottoman, and Islamic history. Examining the unprecedented
economic, military, and social policies that he introduced in
Egypt, as well as Mehmed Ali's intricate relationship with his
family, Fahmy provides a fresh assessment of this towering
nineteenth-century personality.
