Colonial Policing During the ‘Crisis of Empire’
This article examines one of the key campaigns waged by the British Army during the 1919–22 ‘crisis of empire’. The suppression of the Egyptian Revolution in March-April 1919 witnessed the British employ a number of techniques that would come to characterise interwar colonial policing and post–1945 counter-insurgency, including collective punishment, summary military courts, and repressive violence. The campaign was characterised by a permissive …
The Great War in the Middle East
This chapter examines the multiple reactions to the Ottoman jihad fatwa across the British Empire.It begins in Mecca, Islam's holiest city, where thousands of pilgrims gather every year, moves outwards across the Middle East, and then considers territories in Britain's empire that had substantial Muslim populations. 1 This geographical canvas demonstrates how the relationship between Islam and imperialism meant that the war in the Middle East had…
Violence in Defence of Empire
Violence in Defence of Empire: The British Army and the 1919 Egyptian Revolution The Egyptian revolution of spring 1919 posed a serious challenge to British imperial rule in the wake of the First World War, and has traditionally been examined solely through political, diplomatic and economic lenses. Within these approaches the counter-revolutionary response of the British colonial state, principally involving the use of military force, has been i…

Beach scrutinizes this controversial military figure through the lens of the BEF’s intelligence gathering and analysis system, offering an avenue to assess how Haig formed his opinions of the Germa…

Combat and Morale in the North African Campaign
The British campaign in North Africa against the Axis forces commanded by Rommel has inspired bitter historiographical debate. The poor combat performance of the Eighth Army throughout the first half of 1942, culminating in the fall of Tobruk and the flight to the El Alamein line, led Churchill to make some of his most forceful criticism of the British military in the Second World War. By the end of the year, however, this picture had been revers…
‘Khaki crusaders’
Much of the historiography of the First World War in the Middle East suggests that the soldiers of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force motivated themselves by seeing the British campaign against the Ottoman Empire as a crusade against Islam. The construction of the campaign as a crusade was a product of the need for politicians to portray the Egyptian Expeditionary Force's operations to the British public as relevant to the wider course of the First…
