Description

Explore a detailed study of military failure during the age of imperialism with Khedive Ismail's Army. Published by Routledge as part of the Cass Military Studies series, this book examines the mid-nineteenth century Egyptian army, which appeared to be a formidable regional power on paper. While the army possessed a tradition of success, modern weapons, and experienced mercenary officers, its ambitions met significant challenges. Khedive Ismail sought to integrate imported technology and expertise with native manpower to establish Egyptian dominance in the Horn of Africa. This book tracks those efforts, from the conquest of parts of the Sudan to the disastrous defeats faced during the Egyptian Abyssinian War of 1875 to 1876. This work provides a deep look into the gap between military potential and actual battlefield performance. It is an essential read for students and enthusiasts of military history looking to understand the complexities of nineteenth-century warfare and imperial expansion.
