Description: "The River War is an historical account of British involvement in the Sudan, specifically the conflict between Anglo-Egyptian forces, who nominally controlled the region, and the increasingly-powerful Muslim dervishes in Sudan. Led by Muhammad Ahmad, this radical group known as the Mahdists were rebelling against colonial rule and the government took the decision to intervene. The book is based on Churchill's personal experience as both a war correspondent and an officer in the British Army and offers intriguing insights into nineteenth-century military history and imperialism. This edition of The River War is based on Churchill's abridged, one-volume version, first published in 1902"--Bloomsbury Publishing.
