letters from khartoum written during the siege
The work of a skilled journalist off duty, without the restraints of writing a piece for ‘The Times’, these accounts - meant to be read by his family only - are full of fun, emotion and sordid details. For a short while at the beginning of 1885, after the fall of Khartoum and the famous death of General Gordon, this book was a bestseller. A few months later the manuscript of "The Journals of Major-General C.G. Gordon at Kartoum" reached England and was published to high acclaim, becoming - reportedly - the best selling book in English in 1885 after the Bible. This is a great reading for anyone interested in the siege of Khartoum.
