Authors Note
T his book had its origins in my research for a PhD in the history faculty at the University of Reading. It develops what I have felt to be missing links in my earlier work on Sudan during the nineteenth century, inasmuch as I have focused on the Sudanese side of the conflict rather than the ideological, political and military debates within the British establishment over the morality and practicality of intervention in Africa. Parts of my Introduction and what forms were published in Sudan Studies, the journal of the Sudan Studies Society of the United Kingdom. I am grateful to the editors of both for their permission to reproduce these sections.
For Sudanese and Egyptian names, in an attempt at clarity and consistency, I transliterate as precisely as possible from the Arabic. Thus the name of the Mahd is given as Muammad Amad rather than Mahomet Achmet, for example, or Uthmn Diqna instead of Osman Digna. This applies to place names too: al-Ubei not El Obeid; Sawkn not Suakin, let alone the contemporary Suakim; and Wd-alf instead of Wady Halfa or any of its many variants. In a few, more widely recognised cases, not least because so many crop up so frequently in news coverage of todays conflicts in Sudan, I have allowed non-academic convention to prevail. Thus, for example, I use Berber not Barbar, Darfur not Dr-Fr, Dongola not al-Danqal, Khartoum not al-Kharm, Kordofan not Kurdufn and Omdurman not Umm-Durmn.
In many of the primary, hand-written sources, emphasised words are frequently underlined. This has been rendered here in italics. Particularly strong emotions, especially in the correspondence and journals of both General Gordon and Queen Victoria, are conveyed in double or even triple underlining. These I have represented in capitals and underlined capitals respectively. Thus, for example, the monarchs third-person injunction to Gladstone: The Queen trusts Lord Wolseleys plan WILL be considered, and our whole position remembered.
