Omdurman 1898 by Donald Featherstone
A detailed, illustrated account of the conquest of the Dervish Empire, one of the great desert battles in the imperial drama of the Victorian era. In this compact volume, Donald Featherstone outlines the dramatic conflict that witnessed hordes of native warriors set against British discipline and firepower, gunboats on the Nile, a dramatic cavalry charge and Kitchener, the Sirdar, as conqueror. The book explores the events, weaponry and leaders of both sides, and accompanying illustrations and colourful graphics bring the whole campaign vividly to life.
Don Featherstone has long been a student of military history and has visited many of the world's most famous battlefields. He has written extensively on a large number of military campaigns from the point of view of both the historian and the wargamer.
