About this product
Product Information
Wingate Pasha is the first biography of an emminent Scottish soldier-statesman who contributed much to the development of the Sudan and Egypt during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It tells the story of a man from an impoverished background with a rudimentary education who nonetheless mastered several foreign languages including Arabic. In 1884, Wingate joined the expeditionary force to relieve Khartoum, which arrived two days too late, General Gordon having been murdered.. As Kitchener's Military Intelligence Officer, Wingate was instrumental in assisting Kitchener to recover Sudan from Dervish domination. As Governer-General of the Sudan, Wingate's enlightened administration brought unprecedented political, social and economic prosperity to the Sudanese people. In the First World War, Wingate played a leading role in organising the Arab Revolt against the Turks, although it was his subordinate, T E Lawrence (of Arabia) who received acclaim. After the war, as High Commissioner of Egypt, he continued to seek justice for the Egyptian people at the Paris Peace Conference which led to the signing of the Treat of Versailles in 1919. He retired from public life to Dunbar in Scotland and had a successful business career until he died in 1953. AUTHOR: Robert Pugh, now retired from business, has had five books published, all on Scottish subjects. He lives in Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland. SELLING POINTS: . First biography of Reginald (Rex) Wingate, a great-cousin of Orde Wingate of Chindit fame, the eminent and highly decorated Scottish soldier-statesman. Pasha means military leader. . Stirring account of the Battle of Omdurman, 1898, in which the Sudanese, led by the Khalifa, were defeated by British and Egyptian troops under General Kitchener, Wingate being Kitchener's intelligence officer and spymaster. . Assesses Wingate's achievements as Governor-General of the Sudan. . Intensive insight into the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. . Examines Wingate's dilemma as High Commisioner of Egypt and the consequences of the Treat of Versailles regarding the future of Egypt and Saudi Arabia in 1919. . Published on the 150th anniversary of his birth. ILLUSTRATIONS: 27 b&w + 8 maps *

I think this item (which was one of four bought at the same time as part of a special offer) had to be re-despatched. I told them it didn't arrive with the other books so they made arrangements to get it to me ASAP. They said it would be despatched within 48 hours and it was despatched within 24. I had it on my doorstep in 3 days, in very good condition as described. Very happy with the price and the service, highly recommended seller. Very professional.
