Three Empires on the Nile The Victorian Jihad, 1869-1898

"[An] imaginative retelling of how Britain gained supremacy in Egypt and Sudan during the last decades of the nineteenth century....These events have been well rehearsed by historians, though by providing a unified account, Green calls attention to the varied imperial motives--humanitarian, economic and strategic--and Muslim political and religious visions that inspired them. His spirited writing presents all this with cinematic verve through a cast of memorable characters."Green, Dominic is the author of 'Three Empires on the Nile The Victorian Jihad, 1869-1898', published 2007 under ISBN 9780743280716 and ISBN 0743280717.
