The story is well-known, recounted in numerous books and celebrated in the film Khartoum (1966) starring Charlton Heston. However, what is perhaps less well-known is the subsequent and far more successful campaign fought by the British against the Mahdis successor, the Khalifa, by General Kitchener, the Sirdar of the Egyptian Army, over a decade later.</p><p><em><strong>The Sirdar and the Khalifa: Kitcheners Re-conquest of Sudan, 1896-98</strong></em> examines Kitcheners belated campaign to reconquer the Sudan and avenge the death of General Gordon, a war that began in 1896 and ended less than two years later with the epic Battle of Omdurman. The true story of the Omdurman campaign is a classic tale of British soldiers battling a fanatical Dervish enemy in the harsh terrain of the desert. It is also the campaign that made Kitchener a household name, one that would last to this very day.</p>...3431447The Sirdar and the Khalifa180180https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-sirdar-and-the-khalifa-1230001908039/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2792105/699ce5f6-2d37-4805-b800-324e4cf0065a.jpg?v=638384458250800000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20171230001908039_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1230001908039_<p>Perhaps one of the most dramatic events of the late Victorian period was the death of General Charles Chinese Gordon at the hands of the Mahdis fanatical warriors as they finally broke their way into the Sudanese city of Khartoum.
