Book excerpt: Excerpt from Story of the Soudan War: From the Rise of the Revolt July, 1881, to the Fall of Khartoum and Death of Gordon Jan., 1885 Had any man dared to predict in the autumn of the year 1882, when the rebellion instigated by Arabi Pasha had been crushed efl'ectually at tel-el-kebir, that eighteen months afterwards British troops would be actively engaged in another part of Egyptian territory, he would have been scouted as an idle dreamer; had he ventured further, and said that two years hence the flower of the British Army would be fighting unceasingly again st Time and the tremendous difficulties and varied perils incident to a river voyage along the great Nile Valley, with an objec tive two thousand miles distant from Cairo, the world would have pitied him as one demented. Yet how literal would the prophecy have been fulfilled We are too apt to forget that the unlikely is always happening, and that, poor ignorant creatures as we are, we cannot imagine what surprises the morrow will bring in its train. The English Government believed that in stifling the military rising in Egypt proper they were removing the one danger that threatened our interests in that country. They knew not of the sore that was festering elsewhere, nor of the operation that would be essential to its cure. Providing they had been aware of the seriousness of the disease, of the tenacity with which it had laid hold on the system, they could not have realised how weak wasthe body to be relieved of the visitation. As a fact, the frame was too reduced to bear the strain when palliatives were applied. It was utterly inadequate to withstand the shock of a vigorous endeavour to uproot the seat of the evil; hence the process of galvanisation, the application of extraordinary remedies, of extraneous aid. This assist ance England supplied, and dearly has she paid for her* interference. It cannot be said that, all things considered, the interference was unjustifiable, though had a correct estimate of the outlay been made, she would certainly have paused ere she committed herself to the bargain. However, we must not stray on to debatable ground. On the contrary, we would, while relating events in their natural sequence, cling severely to none save a dispas sionate course. This, and this alone, is the Spirit which has animated the production of the Story of the Soudan War. The sole desire has been to produce a faithful reflex of occurrences from the outbreak of the Soudan rebellion in July, 1881, to the fall of Khartoum in January, 1885. And, to ensure reliability, official docu ments have, where possible, been consulted. No state ments of party have been accepted, because, however anxious one is to present the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, the lode-stone of bias too often weighs in the scale even when one would carefully eschew it.

Download or read book Gladstone Gordon and the Sudan Wars written by Fergus Nicoll and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General Gordons death in Khartoum on 26 January 1885 and the fall of the besieged city to the forces of the Mahdi was a crucial episode in British imperial history. It was deeply controversial at the time, and it still is today. Gordon has routinely been depicted as the hero of the story, in contrast to Prime Minister Gladstone who is often portrayed as the villain of the piece, responsible for a policy of drift in Sudan.Fergus Nicolls radical reappraisal, which is based on eyewitness accounts and previously unpublished archive material, refutes the conventional image of both men. Presenting an inside view of Gladstones thinking and decision-making, Nicoll gives the prime minister credit for his steadfast insistence that Britain should have minimal engagement in and zero responsibility for Sudan. Gordon, who succumbed to a lasting mania that skewed his decision-making and undermined his military capacity, is cast in a more sceptical light. This fascinating insight into British policy in Africa exposes the inner workings of government, the influence of the press and public opinion and the power of a book to change a government.Each stage in the rapid sequence of events is reconsidered Gladstones steely determination to avoid involvement, Gordons partial evacuation of Khartoum, the siege, the despatch of the relief expedition that arrived too late, the abandonment of Sudan, and the subsequent political battle over responsibility. The personal cost to both men was great: Gordon lost his life and Gladstone saw his reputation gravely tarnished.

Download or read book British Military Operations in Egypt and the Sudan written by Harold E. Raugh and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2008-05-02 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British Army's campaigns in Egypt and the Sudan from 1882 to 1899 were among the most dramatic and hard-fought in British military history. In 1882, the British sent an expeditionary force to Egypt to quell the Arabic Revolt and secure British control of the Suez Canal, its lifeline to India. The enigmatic British Major General Charles G. Gordon was sent to the Sudan in 1884 to study the possibility of evacuating Egyptian garrisons threatened by Muslim fanatics, the dervishes, in the Sudan. While the dervishes defeated the British forces on a number of occasions, the British eventually learned to combat the insurrection and ultimately, largely through superior technology and firepower, vanquished the insurgents in 1898. British Operations in Egypt and the Sudan: A Selected Bibliography enumerates and generally describes and annotates hundreds of contemporary, current, and hard-to-find books, journal articles, government documents, and personal papers on all aspects of British military operations in Egypt and the Sudan from 1882 to 1899. Arranged chronologically and topically, chapters cover the various campaigns, focusing on specific battles, leading military personalities, and the contributions of imperial nations as well as supporting services of the British Army. This definitive volume is an indispensable reference for researching imperialism, colonial history, and British military operations, leadership, and tactics.

Download or read book The River War Volume 1 written by Winston Spencer Churchill and published by . This book was released on 2022-09-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complete and unabridged First Edition of Winston Churchill's enthralling history of the 1896-1899 reconquest of the Sudan by Lord Alfred Kitchener, which saw the destruction of the Dervish Empire, those fanatical followers of the "Mahdi"- the Islamist leader responsible for the 1885 siege of Khartoum and death of the famous British General Charles Gordon. Widely regarded as the most authoritative account of the Sudan War-which the author dubbed the River War, on account of the importance of the Nile River in the region-this work was originally published in two volumes. This was later condensed down to a single volume, a work which cut out swathes of Churchill's highly relevant observations and commentary. The River War Volume I is the first part of a new edition of the original two volume set which contains the complete and unabridged text of the original First Edition. This meticulously researched history was backed up by the author's personal presence during the military campaign as correspondent for the Morning Post newspaper in London. Volume I starts with a complete account of the history of the Sudan's history leading up to the rise of the Mahdi; the Mahdi's remarkable exploits; and the immediate aftermath of the fall of Khartoum and the murder of General Gordon. Thereafter the author deals with the intriguing political background in Britain and Egypt which led to the creation of a new military force-under British leadership-in Egypt. This force, comprised of Egyptians, Sudanese tribes, and British officers, was developed with the sole purpose of dislodging the Mahdist, or Dervish, Empire which had seized control of most of the Sudan and had established a self-proclaimed Khalifa, or Caliphate. It then relates the military campaigns up to the famous April 1898 Battle of the Atbara, where the Anglo-Egyptian force defeated a 15,000-strong Dervish army. Along the way, the author recounts many dramatic actions, clashes, naval encounters-and the excruciating but incredible technical effort put into building a supply railway through the desert deep into the Dervish heartlands. This Volume I also contains all the original illustrations and maps, digitally restored to the highest standards possible. It has also been indexed.
