Sword of the Prophet: the Mahdi of Sudan and the death of General Gordon

Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:On 25 January 1885, a Sudanese Islamic revolutionary army entered Khartoum. The slaughter continued from dawn until noon and involved the beheading of British officer General Charles Gordon. This event has often been explored in literature yet the focus has always been on General Gordon and the colonial viewpoint. This new biography recognises for the first time the Mahdi's role as the charismatic but flawed leader of a movement seeking to free his people. Nicoll discusses a range of issues, from taxation and the spread of militant Islamic influence along the pilgrim route from West Africa to Sufi dress code and the Nile boat-building industry, but it is the character of the Mahdi who remains at the book's core -the boat-builder's son who attempted to lead the Sudanese to independence.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
