Condition: New. SB. 271pp, 2002 N&MP Reprint of 1885 Original EditionPublished Price £11.50 A personal account of one of the campaigns in the Sudan that followed the siege of Khartoum and the death of General Gordon. Major Gambier-Perry took part in the expedition to avenge Gordon and to extirpate the power of the Mahdi, the fanatical religious leader whose preaching had set the Horn of Africa ablaze.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - War comes ashore at Suakin. In 1885, the Red Sea theater flared as Britain pushed into the Egyptian Sudan, caught in the Mahdi uprising conflict and the anxious aftershocks of the Gordon relief expedition. Major E. Gambier Parry's Suakin, 1885 is a brisk, clear Victorian war memoir that follows the year's operations with the focus of a professional soldier and the immediacy of an eyewitness battle narrative. The stakes feel close, the geography sharp, the decisions consequential.Part field sketch, part military campaign history, Parry captures how British empire warfare looked on the ground: the grind of movement, the pressure of uncertainty, and the human cost behind official communiques. Read today, it stands as a valuable document of the Egyptian Sudan expedition and a key lens on Suakin Sudan 1885, bridging the early fighting on the coast to the later Kitchener Sudan campaigns that would reshape the region. Its directness and restraint give it the enduring pull of Victorian military history at its best. It rewards anyone drawn to campaign studies, imperial politics, or the lived texture of service in a hard, contested landscape.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For casual readers it is fast, factual, and vivid; for collectors it is an unabridged historical reprint suited to any Victorian military history collection, a compact classic of imperial-era reportage and remembrance. …
