概要
 In the late 19th century, the self-proclaimed Mahdi, known as the Guided One, rallied Islamic forces to expel the Anglo-Egyptians from Sudan, igniting a fierce backlash. The dramatic death of the heroic General Charles Gordon at Khartoum fueled British public sentiment for a military response to reclaim lost territories. As political tides shifted, a British-Egyptian-Sudanese expedition, commanded by the formidable Herbert Kitchener, set its sights on the Nile‚Äîa lifeline in an arid landscape. This journey through a desolate region became a struggle for survival, as the expedition faced an enemy vastly outnumbering them. Young Winston Churchill sought to gain combat experience to advance his career, securing a transfer to the 21st Lancers. He would go on to partake in the last successful cavalry charge in history during the pivotal battle of Omdurman, while also serving as a war correspondent for the Morning Post. Upon his return to England, he transformed his experiences and observations into this compelling account.Copyright Biographies 2.0 世界 政治・政府 政治学 社会科学 科学
