Battle Story: Omdurman 1898 by William Wright
Kitchener commanded a force of 8,000 British regulars and a mixed force of 17,000 Sudanese and Egyptian soldiers. First-hand accounts from both sides help the reader to understand all the horrors and glory of that day including the famous charge of the 21st Lancers, often called the last great cavalry charge of the British Army.
William Wright is the author of A Tidy Little War: The British Invasion of Egypt 1882 and a former chairman of the Victorian Military Society. Formerly employed in the media and public relations, he is now semi-retired and spends much of his time visiting colonial battlefield in Africa and New Zealand, amongst others.
