Tel El Kibir 1882
Sir Garnet
Wolseley's campaign of 1882, completed in just 4½ weeks, was an almost
'textbook' operation, carefully planned and executed with masterly
competence. Don Featherstone's narrative describes Wolseley's outflanking
of the Egyptian forces via the Suez Canal, the advance to Kassassin and
the decisive battle at Tel-El-Kibir - as well as the naval bombardment of
Alexandria. It is supported by detailed orders of battle and graphics
based upon highly accurate military cartography carried out by the
victorious army.

Khartoum 1885
Back
to Top
The Fall of Khartoum and the
death of General Gordon at the hand of the Mahdi's army constituted one of
the most colourful and controversial episodes of Britain's military
history - a seemingly unfeeling Imperial government had 'let down' one of
the nation's heroes. Here, Donald Featherstone, well known for his many
books on military subjects and wargaming in particular, focuses especially
on the battles fought by the relief columns.

Omdurman 1898
Back
to Top
Completing Don
Featherstone's Sudan/Egypt trilogy, this volume tells the story of the
conquest of the Dervish Empire: the Dongola-Berber campaign, Firket and
Atbara, culminating at Omdurman, one of the great desert battles in the
imperial drama of the Victorian Era - hordes of native warriors set
against British discipline and firepower, gunboats on the Nile, a dramatic
cavalry charge, and Kitchener, the Sirdar, as the conqueror. With
contemporary illustrations and colourful graphics, this book brings the
whole campaign vividly to life.
