• W300060452 abstract "Politics and Diplomacy in Egypt: The Diaries of Sir Miles Lampson 1935-1937, edited by M.E. Yapp. Oriental & African Archives, 3. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press, 1977. xvii + 973 pages. Appends. to p. 993. Index to p. 1044. $185. Reviewed by John S.F. Parker This lengthy daily record, kept by a British official in Egypt who, although that country was (theoretically) independent, might still be called 11 proconsul, contains no big surprises. It illustrates, sometimes in hour-by-hour detail and, at times. amusingly, what has long been accepted version of Egyptian politics between two world wars: a shifting triangular contest between the Palace (Kings Fu'ad and Faruq and their favorites), Wafd party (which had, from its inception in 1919, aimed to end British occupation and control of Egypt) and British Residency (which, beneath surface of diplomatic courtesies, was always fortified by a visible armed force). The three-year period covered in this volume encompasses long crisis brought about by Italy's conquest of Ethiopia and other, subsequent, manifestations of European imperial ambition in Mediterranean and Red Sea areas. Great Britain's half-hearted and ineffectual attempts to avert Italy's conquest of Ethiopia aroused Benito Mussolini's hostility and seemed to risk an Italian invasion or aerial blitzkrieg of Egypt. These efforts, along with some tactless pronouncements by British officials in London in December 1935, united many Egyptian politicians and notables in a National Front which sought to secure a treaty ending 53-year British occupation of Egypt without leaving it defenseless against a possible attack by Italy from west or southeast. Meanwhile, Britain's strategic resources were dangerously over-stretched. This caused policymakers in London, after energetic representations from their man in Cairo, Sir Miles Lampson, to consider a compromise with Egyptians Thus. whereas several earlier attempts to conclude a treaty had failed, in August 1936 Anglo-Egyptian Agreement was signed. This agreement counts as most important achievement of Sir Miles Lampson's 12-year service in Egypt. Most of diary entries included in this volume record Lampson's daily interviews with Egyptian ministers, their (mainly British) advisers and senior members of his own staff. The entries abundantly, and perhaps surprisingly, illustrate how little much-acclaimed treaty altered crude facts of British advice, which was accompanied by tacit threat of coercion. …" @default.
