Description and Table of Contents
Description
In 1898, Kitchener's Anglo-Egyptian army defeated the armies of dervishes at the battle of Omdurman. To commemorate the event, 11 historians have produced a reappraisal of the reconquest and its international repercussions. They examine some of the policies, personalities and issues involved.

The Guardian - FO scoffs at demand for kitchener apology - ran the head-line - of a feature - not a review
" There is no cause for such a charge against Kitchener. He fully implemented British policy. He did it at minimal risk to the Egyptian and British lives under his command and in a fully professional and methodical manner" Edward Spieres in response to charges.
The Victorian Military Society- "This is a substantial work by academic historians, covering not only military but also diplomatic, media and other aspects of the war, and placing it in its wider context...Sudan:The Reconquest Reappraised is not revisionist in the sense of proposing any fundamental reinterpretation. Rather, it significantly amplifies, clarifies and modifies the histography of the reconquest. It will be a standard work for years to come."
Society for Army Historical Research Journal
"It is a formula that works here thanks to Edward Spiers"s brilliant introduction and the overall high quality of the contributions. ... It is the balance of details with the comprehensive overview of events which makes this such a fascinating campaign study."
Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History, Vol 27, No 3, Sept 99
"This is a readable, well-handled account which provides an accessible introduction to the more salient features of the reconquest. ... This attractively produced book provides a welcome and valuable starting-point for any study of the Sudan campaign and is to be commended as such."
