What is Evelyn Baring Cromer (Earl of). Modern Egypt. Vol. 1 about?

New York: The Macmillan company, 1916. - 1244 p. "Modern Egypt", orig. published in 1908, by Evelyn Baring Cromer (1841-1917) - british statesman, diplomat and colonial administrator. He was British controller-general in Egypt during 1879 and later agent and consul-general in Egypt from 1883 to 1907. Britain occupied Egypt after it had become overwhelmed with significant financial and political troubles. Cromer ran the territory with great drive and his actions eventually precluded British wishes to withdraw from Egypt. He was closely involved with Egyptian politics and was unpopular with Egyptian nationalists for this and many other reasons. Cromer was eventually forced to resign in the wake of protests over the punishments meted out to Egyptians following the 1906 Denshawai Incident, in which an altercation between Egyptian villagers and British officers resulted in several deaths. This book is an extensive history (economic, political and military) of the British rule of Egypt during the 1870s and 1880s.
