All the men of the Pasha

All the Pasha men's by Khaled Fahmy ... places "Muhammad Ali" and his state and his army in front of a scientific standard, does not see from him a legend or a dictator ruler, but rather places him in the historical framework that made him a very important phenomenon in the history of modern Egypt. It presents the history of Egypt "from below," meaning its focus on the governed more than the rulers, and this was a rare approach in writing about Egyptian history before the appearance of its first Arabic edition in 2000. He succeeded in capturing the voice of that Egyptian governed without falling into emotional generalizations. It provides an important scientific and philosophical addition to the study of the concept of authority and its formation throughout history, and Muhammad Ali's state becomes a model, analyzing based on that perspective documents and speeches of the Egyptian army in that era, and exploring through delving into them the formation and development of that authority in one of its most historically impactful transformations perhaps to this day. It opened the eyes of historians and readers to highly private documents, and transformed many of the heritages into sources for the making of history, entering archives that were considered before this book as unknown or forgotten, until it came to dust them off over the years, making us feel that they are a very valuable treasure in our history and in the study of our history. Khaled Fahmy remained committed to an enjoyable, smooth style full of drama, guiding his reader to the facts using very strong arguments, and complete clarity at the same time.
