As the title would suggest, the story told in 'The Guns of El Kebir' culminates with the Battle of Tel El Kebir, where an Egyptian force faces Wolseley's British army, and effectively ends a brief revolution led by Colonel Arabi, an Egyptian officer who sought to overthrow the ruling faction in Cairo/5.
