This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Major-General Sir Charles William-Wilson, Royal Engineers, K. C. B., K. C. M. G., F. R. S., D. C. L., LL. D., M. E The materials from which this memoir of the late Sir Charles Wilson has been compiled, consist principally of his own diaries and note-books, which he always kept in a very thorough manner; of his official reports, printed in Parliamentary Papers, and of other published writings; and, more especially, of his letters to his Wife, in which, when away from home, he recorded everything that he did and saw during his travels. Lady Wilson placed the whole of these letters at my disposal, and I have given a considerable number of extracts from them, as they afford a fuller insight into his actions and his thoughts than any one else could give, and it seemed advisable, as far as possible, to let him speak for himself. Sir C. Wilson's career was a remarkably varied and interesting one. He was fortunate in having been selected, at an early age, to serve on the North American Boundary Commission, as the excellent work which he did in connection with it brought him under the notice of the Foreign Office, and led to further employment later. For many years he served upon the Ordnance Survey, and was probably the only man who has had charge of the work of that Department in Scotland, Ireland, and afterwards in the United Kingdom. In the War Office he was employed twice, first in the Intelligence Branch, the foundation of which owed much to his exertions, and, secondly, as director-general of Military Education. One of the most important periods of his life was the time during which he worked under the Foreign Office; first, as British representative on the Servian Boundary Commission; then as Military consul-general in Anatolia, and as Com missioner in Eastern Rumelia; and lastly under Lord Dufferin in Egypt, where he was selected to fill a very important position in connection with the trial of Arabi Pasha and the other leaders of that military revolt, which led to the British occupation of the country.

Download or read book The Modern Assyrians of the Middle East written by John Joseph and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-05-18 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a revised edition of the author's The Nestorians and Their Muslim Neighbors (Princeton University Press, 1961). Early in the nineteenth century, the Aramaic-speaking "Nestorian" Christians received special attention when American Protestant missions decided to educate and reform them to help meet the challenge that Islam presented to the growing missionary movements. When archaeologist Layard further publicized the historic minority as "Assyrians", the name acquired a new connotation when other forces at work in the region - religious, nationalistic, imperialistic - entangled these modern Assyrians in vagaries and manipulations in which they were outnumbered and outclassed. The study examines Western Christendom's current position on Islam, with emphasis on the Roman Catholic Church and the World Council of Churches. The revision draws on a wide variety of sources not used in the original.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At an auction in Edinburgh in 2010, the sale of an old walking stick belonging to a British officer, Captain Gill, shed new light on one of the mysterious crimes of the Victorian era. Captain William Gill and his companions, the noted Arabist Professor Edward Palmer of Cambridge University and a young naval lieutenant, Harold Charrington, were killed in an ambush by Bedouin in the Sinai Desert in 1883. The trio had been tasked with informal diplomacy in the region, specifically to prevent the Arab sheikhs from joining the Egyptian rebels and to secure their non-interference with the Suez Canal. The gruesome murders shocked late-Victorian Britain, and led to pressure from the Queen, Parliament and the Press for the British government to launch a manhunt for the killers in a vast desert area with mountainous terrain. This book traces the story behind the murder of the three men, uncovering the reason for their journey to the desert, the story of the murder itself and the backlash home in England. It shines light on a fascinating, forgotten crime, as well as on early intelligence operations in the Middle East.
