<p>Ride along with Lord Edward Cecil in one of the most hilarious true tales of life as a colonial official in the land of the pharaohs. With a wicked, dry wit, Cecil skewers everyone, including his own countrymen, the Egyptians, the Americans, French, and even himself. Serving in Egypt during the British occupation in the last of the 19th and early part of the 20th centuries, Lord Cecil gives a delightfully hilarious account of his daily life. Imprisoned in meetings he doesn't want, attending dinners and social affairs with boors, and time spent shipboard on leave are all covered here. You'll never look at colonial Britain in quite the same way again. Every memoir of the British Empire provides us with another view of the tiny nation that changed the world forever.</p>
