Fer et feu au Soudan, originally written by Rudolf Carl Slatin, recounts the tumultuous events in Sudan during the Mahdist uprising. This translation by G. Bettex, from the 8th German edition, offers a gripping firsthand account of Slatin Pasha's experiences, including his captivity and eventual escape. Preceding the main text are two letters from the Mahdi, written during the 1896 campaign, providing additional historical context. Slatin's narrative provides valuable insights into the military strategies, political dynamics, and cultural clashes of the late 19th century in Sudan. The book details the siege of Khartoum, the fall of General Gordon, and the subsequent struggles between the Mahdist forces and the Anglo-Egyptian armies. It is a crucial historical document for understanding the complexities of colonialism and resistance in Africa. Slatin's personal journey, marked by resilience and adaptation, resonates with readers seeking adventure and historical understanding.
