This comprehensive military history charts nearly 500 years of Egypt’s armed forces — from the 1517 Ottoman conquest through European invasions, colonial occupations, nationalist revolutions, and culminating in the 1973 “Ramadan War” with Israel. McGregor provides a compelling narrative of how Egyptian soldiers and military institutions evolved amid shifting regional and global power dynamics — shedding light on campaigns, tactics, leadership, and the broader role of Egypt in Middle Eastern and world history
