GO STRONG INTO THE DESERT: THE MAHDIST UPRISING IN SUDAN 1881-85

by Mike Snook

Illustrated by Michael Perry

Published by Perry Miniatures. 1st. 2010

Nearly fine condition. A military history and uniform guide. Following the string of disasters which befell the Egyptian military in the Sudan from 1881-1884, the Mahdist Uprising obliged a relctant London government to deploy an array of distinguished officers and regiments. The ensuing string of battles proved to be herculean struggles encompassing some of the most fascinating episodes in nineteenth century military history. Large format. Pictorial cardwraps. B/w & colour illustrations.

A few minor marks to rear cover else a lovely copy.
