First published in 1929, The Dethronement of the Khedive provides an accurate account of the circumstances attending the deposition of the Khedive Abbas Hilmi Pasha of Egypt. The Ex-Khedive’s dethronement and exile had a great influence on the subsequent course of events, and it is for this reason the author was tempted to endeavour to arrive at the truth, and to discover if possible the motives that led to the extinction of his name and existence in Egypt. The book discusses important themes like Egypt before and under Lord Cromer; the advent of Kitchener; the Khedive at Constantinople in July 1914; Abbas Pasha in Switzerland; British policies in Egypt; policy of the British Labour Ministry of 1924; King Fuad’s visit to London; and Lord Lloyd’s success. This is an important historical reference work for students of Egyptian history, African history and history of Middle East.
