The Secret History of the English Occupation of Egypt

Interesting account, from a pro-Arab standpoint, of the "rebellion" of 1882 which led to English intervention, and the start of a roughly 70-year supremacy over Egypt. Blunt makes little pretense of whose side he's on, and he tends to be harsh on his opponents (for the most part). Unclear how much reliance can be put on his account, but it's still an interesting read.
