This fascinating account highlights the extent the world's major
powers will go to as they seek to insure their own interests and
agendas, despite the wishes of those whose countries they invade
and occupy. The Accidental Tourist profiles Wilfrid Scawen Blunt's
involvement in the so-called Arabi Revolt in 1882. It addresses
Blunt's tireless efforts on behalf of the Egyptian Nationalists to
mediate the differences between Britain and Egypt and prevent a
British invasion of Egypt. It highlights what amounted to a
government cover-up of the actions of certain governmental
officials to precipitate the invasion by falsifying intelligence
information and manipulating the press. It also takes to task the
scholarly tradition of maligning Blunt and questioning the accuracy
of his version of the events of 1882. Blunt was branded a traitor
in the House of Commons. This book was written to set the record
straight. It is ideal reading for those interested in the field of
Middle Eastern, Imperial or Colonial history and will provide
readers with a better understanding of the real story of
imperialism that went on at the time and is still going on in the
Middle East today.
