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.

Condizione: FINE. First US printing. Using first-hand diaries and reports, including those of Rider Haggard's brother Andrew and of Father Ohrwalder (the Austrian missionary who spent ten years of captivity in the Mahdi's camp), this is an account of a remarkable episode in the 'high Empire' period of British history. "The Mahdi…'s rising in the Sudan in the 1880s starting as a localized Holy War against the 'decadent' Turkish/Egyptian overlords, engulfed a million square miles of arid territory and forced the British Liberal Government to get involved after the early disasters of the Hicks expedition and Gordon's death at Khartoum. It describes the growth and strength of the Mahdist movement and the extraordinary devotion and discipline of the Dervish troops. Facing such opponents with stoic endurance were the British, Egyptian and Sudanese Negro soldiers, and the resulting military engagements evoked amazing feats of courage and derring-do on both sides. The Dervish Empire outlasted the Mahdi by thirteen years." Illustrated with photographs. Index. 235 pp. Fine in very good dust jacket (some short tears to the dj).

B&W illustrations.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 235 pages; "Th…e Mahdist State, also known as Mahdist Sudan or the Sudanese Mahdiyya, was a state based on a religious and political movement launched in 1881 by Muhammad Ahmad bin Abdullah (later Muhammad al-Mahdi) against the Khedivate of Egypt, which had ruled Sudan since 1821. After four years of struggle, the Mahdist rebels overthrew the Ottoman-Egyptian administration and established their own "Islamic and national" government with its capital in Omdurman. Thus, from 1885 the Mahdist government maintained sovereignty and control over the Sudanese territories until its existence was terminated by Anglo-Egyptian forces in 1898." (Wikipedia).
