- book
ILLUSTRATED
As the sun set on the
19th century, the English rallied European and African troops in an attempt
to regain control of the Sudan from Mahdist reign. The drive climaxed
in a bright and bloody battle at Omdurman, as General Sir Herbert Kitchener
led his forces to a rousing victory.
Young Gregory Hilliard, fatherless since the age of four, joins Kitchener’s
forces and fights battle after battle as a valiant soldier in the
Sudan. Uncovering a fortuitous secret about his father opens doors previously
unknown to the brave young man.
