Book Synopsis Slaves of Fortune by : Ronald M. Lamothe

Download or read book Slaves of Fortune written by Ronald M. Lamothe and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2011 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anglo-Egyptian re-conquest of Sudan - Churchill's 'River War' - has been well chronicled from the British point of view, but we still know little about its front line troops, the Sudanese soldiers of the Egyptian Army. Making use of unpublished primary sources and published material located in the United Kingdom and Sudan, Slaves of Fortune provides an historiographic correction. It argues that nineteenth-century Sudanese slave soldiers were social beings and historical actors, shaping both European and African destinies, just as their own lives were being transformed by imperial forces. -- Jacket.
