Description: William Britain War Along the Nile W.Britain's War Along the Nile series continues with the Battle of Telel-Kebir. The Egyptian army, led by Ahmed Urabi, rebelled in 1882, discontented with Egypt and its close ties to British and French financiers. The United Kingdom reacted to protect its financial interests in the country, in particular the Suez Canal, and sent a force of 24,000 British and 7,000 Indian troops to quell the revolt. The main Egyptian force dug in at Tel-el-Kebir, north of Cairo. The defenses were hastily prepared, but included trenches and redoubts and studded with 60 pieces of artillery. Rather than making an outflanking movement around Urabi’s entrenchments, the British staged a night attack, relying on the element of surprise to secure the field. W.Britain captures the savage, close-quarter fighting of this desperate engagement with an offering of 18 dramatic figures.
