Arab Patriotism is an ambitious study. Dealing with Egyptian history from the 1830s to the 1890s, it addresses two hitherto relatively unexplored subjects. . . . Throughout, the study presents fresh material and opens new perspectives on Egyptian history. The book is a significant contribution to the history of modern Egypt."
