River Nile in the Age of the British

The Nile today plays a crucial role in the economics politics and cultural life of ten countries and their more than 300 million inhabitants. No other international river Basin has a longer more complex and eventful history than the Nile. In telling the detailed story of the hydropolitics of the Nile Valley in a period during which the conceptualisation use and planning of the waters were revolutionised and many of the most famous politicians of the twentieth century-winstonn Churchill Benito Mussolini Dwight Eisenhower Anthony Eden Gamal Abdul Nasser and haile selassie--played active parts in the Nile game this work will stand as a case study of a much more General and acute question: the political ecology of transnational river basins.
