• Sommario/riassunto: This volume, 'Allenby in Egypt,' is the second in a series by Field-Marshal Viscount Wavell, detailing the life and career of Field-Marshal Viscount Allenby. The book focuses on Allenby's role as High Commissioner in Egypt from 1919 to 1925, a period marked by significant political change and the country's push for independence. It provides an in-depth look at Allenby's leadership and administrative skills during a complex time in Egyptian history, highlighting his impact on British-Egyptian relations. Wavell, drawing on personal knowledge and extensive research, aims to present a fair and accurate portrait of Allenby, countering previous accounts lacking comprehensive insights. The book is intended for readers interested in military history, British foreign policy, and Allenby's legacy in Egypt.
