By Alexander MacDonald

Book Overview

""Too Late For Gordon And Khartoum"" is a historical book that details the heroic efforts made to rescue and relieve General Charles Gordon and the city of Khartoum during the Sudanese War in the late 19th century. The book is written by Alexander MacDonald, an independent eyewitness who was present during the events. The book provides a comprehensive account of the military and political circumstances that led to the siege of Khartoum, as well as the various attempts made to rescue the city and General Gordon. MacDonald's testimony offers a unique perspective on the events, as he was not affiliated with any particular army or government, and was able to observe the situation from a neutral standpoint. Throughout the book, MacDonald describes the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers and civilians involved in the rescue efforts, as well as the challenges they faced, such as harsh weather conditions, lack of supplies, and enemy attacks. He also sheds light on the political tensions and disagreements that hindered the rescue efforts, ultimately leading to the tragic fall of Khartoum and the death of General Gordon. Overall, ""Too Late For Gordon And Khartoum"" is a gripping and informative historical account that offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in Sudanese and British history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
