Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Fully illustrated and featuring full-colour maps and bird's eye views of the battlefield, this detailed volume examines a key moment in Britain's military relationship with the Sudan.Early in 1881 unrest in the Sudan began to crystallise around Mohammed Ibn Ahmed el-Sayyid Abdullah. Proclaiming himself the long-expected Madhi, the Guided One of the Prophet, he preached that the Sudan was to be purged of its Egyptian oppressors. Drawn in by the Egyptian failure to deal with the situation, the British sent General Gordon to organise an evacuation. On reaching Khartoum however, General Gordon believed, incorrectly, that the Madhi could be reasoned with. Instead of negotiating, the Madhi besieged the town for 317 days.This title looks in particular, although not exclusively, at the battles fought by the British columns sent to relieve Khartoum.

A detailed, compact volume on the British response, under Lieutenant-General Wolseley, to Egyptian mutiny.In 1881, the Egyptian army mutinied against the Khedive of Egypt and forced him to appoint Said Ahmed Arabi as Minister of War. In March 1882, Arabi was made a Pasha and from this time on acted as a dictator. Arabi demanded that the foreigners be driven out of Egypt and called for the massacre of Christians. This prompted an armed British response, first in the form of a naval bombardment of Alexandria, and then as an expeditionary force under Lieutenant-General Wolseley.This book explores the entire campaign, including Sir Wolseley's 'textbook' operation that was planned and executed with masterly competence.
