Résumé
In "Khartoum Campaign, 1898; or the Re-Conquest of the Soudan, " Bennet Burleigh captures the tumultuous events surrounding the British military expedition to reclaim Sudan from Mahdist forces. Written in the late 19th century, Burleigh's narrative adopts a journalistic style infused with gripping firsthand accounts, vividly depicting the harsh realities of war and the fervor of imperial ambition.
The book serves as both an eyewitness chronicle and a historical analysis, interweaving personal anecdotes with a broader commentary on British colonial policy, thus offering invaluable insight into the complexities of the Soudan campaign. Bennet Burleigh was a prominent war correspondent and writer whose extensive experience in reporting from various conflict zones profoundly informs his work. Born in 1854, he became renowned for his ability to convey the drama of military engagements, and his experiences in Africa provided him with a unique perspective on the socio-political landscape of the time.
This context streamlines his motivations for writing this book, as he sought to document not only the battles fought but also the cultural implications of colonialism. I highly recommend "Khartoum Campaign, 1898" to readers interested in military history, imperial studies, and the craft of journalism. Burleigh's detailed and engaging prose enables readers to experience the excitement and chaos of the campaign, while also fostering a critical understanding of its historical ramifications.
