Prelude to Suez
Robert Hornby
In January 1952 Cairo burned in a wave of insurgency against the British as the Suez crisis took hold. Three months earlier, however, the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1936 had been abrogated, leading to the withdrawal of all British military personnel from the city to the Canal Zone base at Suez. Colonel Robert Hornby was already committed as the press spokesman for the British Army and chose to stay in Cairo.
This is a unique angle on a fascinating period in British and Egyptian history from a man that was at the centre.
