  Investigates the great international crisis of 1839-1841, precipitated by Mehemet Ali Pasha, when he turned against his own Sultan, advancing his still fledgling forces against the longstanding Ottoman Empire as well as the European Great Powers, seeking sovereignty over Syria and the authority to solidify Egypt as a powerful modern state.
