The Campaign of the Cataracts (Expanded, Annotated) af William Francis Butler
Bag om The Campaign of the Cataracts (Expanded, Annotated)

In one of the great, true adventures of the 19th century, a British Army corps made a daring dash up the Nile in 1884-85 to rescue General Gordon of Khartoum in that besieged city. Hastily assembled but determined on their goal, they fought time, the legendary Nile cataracts (rapids), punishing heat, sandstorms, and Arab tribesmen. In this vivid and exciting account by one of the officers in command, you'll get a taste of what the troopers endured over months of desperate struggle. Sir William Butler was a writer renowned for his ability to capture events and this is one of his most personal accounts. Ride along with Butler as he tells of setbacks, the loss of friends, and the ultimate outcome of their fantastic mission to save Gordon.
