Excerpt from With Kitchener in the Soudan: A Story of Atbara and OmdurmanThen the moving spirit of this enterprise, the man'whose marvellous power of organization had secured its success, was called to other work. Fortunately he had a worthy successor in Colonel Wingate, who, with a native force, encountered that which the Khalifa had agaln gathered near El Obeid, the scene of the total destruction of the army under Hicks Pasha, and routed it with ease, killing the Khalifa and all his principal emirs. Thus a land that had been turned into a desert by the terrible tyranny of the Mahdi and his successor was wrested from barbarism and restored to civilization, and the stain upon British honour caused by the desertion of Gordon by the British ministry of the day was wiped out. It was a marvel lous campaign-marvellous in the perfection of its organization. Marvellous in the completeness of its success.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
