Between the Greek revolt in 1830 and the fall of the Caliphate in 1924 a different kind of voice was heard that was both anti-Imperialist and pro-Islamic. Geoffrey Nash places David Urquhart's passionate belief in the ideal of municipal government in Turkey, W.S. Blunt's enthusiasm for the Egyptian reformers of the Azhar and Marmaduke Pickthall's advocacy of the cause of the Young Turks into their political and historical context and into the context of their writings."--Bloomsbury publishing. 606 $aAnti-imperialist movements$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aBritish & Irish history$2BIC 607 $aMiddle East$xForeign public opinion, British$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aMiddle East$xForeign public opinion, British$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aAnti-imperialist movements$xHistory. 615 7$aBritish & Irish history. 676 $a327.4'1'056'09034 700 $aNash$b Geoffrey$0288165 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964722203321 996 $aFrom empire to orient$94337188 997 $aUNINA
