About This Item
E-150: Greenhill Press. Very Good. 1990. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Greenhill Press, London, UK/Presdio Press, California. 1990. 356 pgs. Illustrated. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Written in 1898, this book features all of the patronizing racism and unabashed jingoism that one would expect from a British war correspondent-turned-colonial hagiographer. With that said, it is a gripping account of Lord Kitchener's expedition up the Nile to quell the remnants of the Mahdi uprising, culminating in the battle of Omdurman. Steevens' account functions as an exotic travelogue, a compelling account of expeditionary warfare, and an insight into the mindset of English colonizers in East Africa at the turn of the century. EB; 8.6 X 5.7 X 1.3 inches; 356 pages .
