The Founder of Modern Egypt: A Study of Muhammad 'Ali

First published in 1931 and reprinted in 1967, this book is an historical and administrative study of the reign of Muhammad 'Ali (1769-1849). Mr Dodwell's purpose, in his own words, is 'to escape from the traditional hero of French and villain of English writers, and to ascertain by a study of original materials what Muhammad 'Ali really did'.
