Kitchener Impersonator Aids Neutrality in Cairo Coup
In a daring 1911 Cairo episode, an English agent impersonates Lord Kitchener to force the Khedive Abbas II to declare Egypt neutral amid looming war in Europe. The ruse, aimed at stabilizing British interests, succeeds when the real Kitchener, in disguise, confirms the pledge and averts a British setback. The tale hinges on intrigue, palace perils, and the audacious ploy to avert a broader conflict.
