Towards Khartoum - the Story of the Soudan War of 1896 A. Hilliard Atteridge

Originally published in 1897 and containing maps, portraits and numerous illustrations from photographs taken by the author, Towards Khartoum - The story of the Soudan War is a fascinating novel of the period and still an interesting read today. The author has tried to give some account of how the Egyptian army did its work in the most important campaign in which it has yet been engaged - A campaign which seems likely to be the prelude to still greater events....
