{"product_id":"9781472803856","title":"Tel El-Kebir 1882: Wolseley's Conquest of Egypt","description":"In 1881, the Egyptian army mutinied against the Khedive of Egypt and forced him to appoint Said Ahmed Arabi as Minister of War. In March 1882, Arabi was made a Pasha and from this time on acted as a dictator. Arabi demanded that the foreigners be driven out of Egypt and called for the massacre of Christians. This prompted an armed British response, first in the form of a naval bombardment of Alexandria, and then as an expeditionary force under Lieutenant-General Wolseley. This book explores the entire campaign, including Sir Wolseley's 'textbook' operation that was planned and executed with masterly competence.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129605800176,"sku":"9781472803856","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781472803856_p0.jpg?v=1763598671","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781472803856","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
