Omdurman 1898 Kitchener's Victory in the Sudan

This volume tells the story of the conquest of the Dervish Empire, culminating at Omdurman: one of the great desert battles in the imperial drama of the Victorian era. This dramatic conflict witnessed hordes of native warriors set against British discipline and firepower, gunboats on the Nile, a dramatic cavalry charge and Kitchener, the Sirdar, as conqueror. This book explores the events, weaponry and leaders of both sides, and accompanying illustrations and colourful graphics bring the whole campaign vividly to life.Featherstone, Donald is the author of 'Omdurman 1898 Kitchener's Victory in the Sudan' with ISBN 9781855323681 and ISBN 1855323680.
