The Mahdi, whose name means one who guides, was a dynamic, charismatic leader and the fanatical zeal which he instilled in the Dervish forces that followed him eventually caused a confrontation that marked a most extraordinary episode in British political and military history. Aided by the rivalry that existed between the English and French colonial governments, the Mahdi took decisive action to stake his claim as a Messiah who would free his people from their oppressors, defeating an Egyptian force and then, in 1883, an Anglo~Egyptian force. Eventually, after a gruelling campaign, the Dervish soldiers who survived the Mahdi were overcome by a charge of the 21st Lancers which happened to include a young lieutenant named Winston Churchill. Illustrated with interesting photographs and plates, Mr. Warner's reconstruction of this conflict draws on firsthand diaries and reports to evoke the many amazing feats of courage and resourcefulness common to both sides.
