Description
A detailed, illustrated account of the conquest of the Dervish Empire, one of the great desert battles in the imperial drama of the Victorian era.
In this compact volume, Donald Featherstone outlines the dramatic conflict that 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.
The book explores the events, weaponry and leaders of both sides, and accompanying illustrations and colourful graphics bring the whole campaign vividly to life.
