Evidence

Fussell goes on to say of Haig that “he was the perfect commander for an enterprise committed to endless abortive assaulting. Indeed one powerful legacy of Haig’s performance is the conviction among the imaginative and intelligent today of the unredeemable defectiveness of all civil and military leaders. Haig could be said to have established the paradigm.” Although modern Egyptian and British leaders seem to follow the paradigm, Ibrahim, unlike Haig, could not be said to have established it. — Khaled Fahmy, All the Pasha_s Men_ Mehmed Ali, his…, 1185
